FOREWORD

The constitution of Kenya 2010 establishes one of the most revolutionary

changes in the country‘s history with the establishment of the two tier

governance system with a national government and 47 county governments.

The constitution envisages that county governments shall spearhead

development at the county level with a view to bridge the developmental

disparities that have existed in the country since independence. Needless to

point out therefore, County governments have been tasked with specific

functions under the constitution, key among them agriculture, health, trade,

roads, county planning so as to spur growth and create employment.

Pursuant to the specific mandate in the Constitution 2010, the County

Government is required to prepare County Integrated Development Plan

(CIDP) that outlines the development goals covering a period of five years. The CIDP is the first for Baringo

County as it is in the other Counties and will cover the period 2013-2017. It replaces the District

Development Plans, which were used to guide development with the focus at the District under the former

constitutional dispensation. The Baringo CIDP has been prepared through an inclusive and a wide

consultative process required by Article 10 of the Constitutiuon.

Under the constitution of Kenya 2010, National and County Governments are distinct but interdependent.

The County Government is composed of the Governor, County Executive Committee and County Assembly.

The County Executive Committee is expected to supervise the administration and delivery of services to the

County citizenery as well as conceptualize and implement policies and county legislation. The County

Assembly is a legislative organ and will play an oversight role on all County public institutions including the

urban areas.

The County Government responsibilities and functions are specifically spelt out under the Fourth Schedule

of the Constitution. Currently, not all functions in the fourth schedule have been transfered to the county

governments. The County Government of Baringo will ensure that it has the capacity to undertake all the

functions as stipulated in the fourth schedule by the end of the transition period. This will include: prudence

financial management practices; build strong institutions of management of county affairs; and training and

capacity building of county government staff and the County Assembly. These will be done under the legal

framework established to support county governments where several laws on devolution have been enacted

including; The Urban Areas and Cities Act 2011; The County Governments Act 2012; The Traansition to

Devolved Government Act, 2012; The Intergovernmental Relations Act 2012 and The Public Finance

Management Act, 2012. Other relevant laws that have been enacted in the different sectors to support

implementation and operationalization of devolution include; the National Government Coordinating Act,

2012, and the County Governments Public Finance Management Transition Act, 2012.

Programmes that focus on the youthful population, who account for the highest proportion of the population,

especially addressing youth unemployment, will be implemented during the Plan period. Attention will be

given to provide knowledge and skills with a bias on entrepreneurship with affordable credit to enable them

engage in production of goods and services. Besides, the County Government is expected and will expand

middle level colleges in the county to take advantage of opportunities in the industrial sector as the county

moves towards industrialization. In addition, programmes and projects that support the agricultural sector,

H.E.Hon. Cheboi Benjamin, EBS

COUNTY INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2013-2017- COUNTY OF BARINGO Page iv

which is the main economic activity in the county, will be aimed at transforming farming to make it more

competitive and increase production per unit.Raising the profitability of farmers will not only boost the

livelihoods of the county residents, but also attract the youth to join the sector, helping to also address

unemployment among the youth. The County Government will also start programmes aimed at diversifying

economic activities in the county. This includes value addition to agricultural produce and establishing

tourism sector and a circuit in the North Rift Region.

The County Government will work to attract investors in the county. Specific initiatives to establish and

create an enabling environment to attract direct investments in the county will be implemented. Key projects

especially the infrastructural projects will be marketed to investors to be implemented under the Public

Private Partnerships. This will also address the financing gaps for projects in the county.

Finally, I call upon the residents of the County of Baringo to commit towards the development process

outlined in this Plan. This is the beginning of a new phase that will see the transformation of the county,

improve the quality of life of the residents and as such all the stakeholders in the county must work together

to ensure that the Plan‘s objectives are realized.

PREFACE

The Baringo County Integrated Development Plan was prepared by a county secretariat

that was led by the Committee Executive Member in charge of Finance and Planning

and the County Development Planning Officer in close collaboration with various

stakeholders including government departments, civil society organizations,

community groups and the private sector. In line with Article 10 of the Constitution of

Kenya 2010, the secretariat undertook consultations in all the 30 wards and

subcounties in the month of July and August 2013 to identify key development

priorities to be implemented over the next five years. These priorities were used to

inform the projects and programmes in this Plan. The increased participation by a wide

cross section of the people in the county in the preparation of the Plan is expected to

enhance the achievement of the key goal of devolution which is to empower citizens to

exercise their rights to be involved in their social and economic development.

The Kenya Vision 2030 is the country‘s development blueprint covering the period 2008 to 2030. It aims to transform

Kenya into a newly industrializing, ―middle –income country providing a high quality life to all its citizens by the year

2030‖.The vision is based on three pillars;Economic ,Social and Political Pillar.The pillars are supported by key

enablers and macro foundations of the Vision.For each of the Pillars and the key enablers and macro

foundations,priority sectors have been identified to drive the aspirations of the Vision.The Vision has also identified a

number of flagship projects to be implemented accros the country includind Baringo county for all sectors.

As provided by the constitution, the Plan is aligned with the Kenya Vision 2030 and the Second Medium Term

Plan.There are a number of the Vision flagship projects that are being implementedin the County. These projects have

been documented in this Plan, and the County Government will work together with the National Government to ensure

the successful implementation of these projects. In line with the development priorities outlined in the Second Medium

Plan aims at transforming the agricultural sector in the county, which is the backbone of the county‘s economy. Target

areas in this sector include increasing the area under irrigation, diversification of crop enterprises, support the

development of the livestock sector and improve the marketing of the agricultural produce to reduce exploitation by

middlemen. The county government will also seek to develop the industrial sector beginning with light manufacturing

for value addition and processing of agricultural produce. In addition, priority projects to support the sector such as in

the infrastructure, tourism, health and education sectors will be prioritized for implementation.

The county government will prioritize capacity building of the county executive, the staff and county assembly through

training programmes in addition to those organized by the national government. The county public service board will

recruit qualified and skilled human resources to ensure that the County Government of Baringo delivers on the mandate.

The County government will also work closely with the national government, development partners, private sector, civil

society organizations including faith based organizations, and other stakeholders in improving the livelihoods of the

people of Baringo County.

Executive summary

A key objective of this County Integrated Development Plan is to identify community

developmental priorities to be implemented over the next five years.

This document will inform the preparation and implementation of sectoral plans as well as the

spatial plan for Baringo County. It is divided into twelve chapters as follows:

Chapter One: Provides the the general information, background description of the county in terms

of its area, administrative divisions, main physical features, settlement patterns, as well as a

summary of data essential for making informed choices while planning.

Chapter Two: Outlines major development challenges facing the county. In addition, it gives a

SWOT analysis on crosscutting issues being experienced in the county. An analysis of sub-sector‘s

issues as identified in the MTEF process is also discussed in the chapter, showing the policy thrusts,

causes and strategies needed to solve them.

Chapter Three: Maps out the development strategy and identifies the overall, social, economic,

environmental and infrastructural goals that need to incorporated in the development plan.The

chapter also presents some strategic considerations for the formulation of the development plan.

Chapter Four: Introduces the spatial framework for the development of the county. It establishes a

context for the development of a spatial plan, which will be developed as per the requirements of

theCounty Government Act. The development of the spatial plan should be given immediate

priority, as it is the basis of all economic industrial development in the county. This section also

identifies the major urban areas and how they are related to each other. It also briefly addresses the

issue of housing policy within the county.

Chapter Five: provides a framework for Baringo County Government to leverage ICT to increase

public sector productivity by enabling the delivery of services for the people, communities and

businesses. The adoption of ICT will also ensure open engagement and better-informed decisions as

well as improving operations.

Chapter Six: recognizes the challenges Baringo faces as far as disaster management is concerned

and provides a framework for its management. It establishes a context for PDRA and work plan

development.

Chapter Seven: Discusses the linkages between the County Integrated Development Plan, Kenya

Vision 2030 and the Constitution of Kenya. A brief status of MDGs at the county level is also

provided.

Chapter Eight: Contains a resource mobilization strategy for the county government. It indicates

the resources available for capital projects development. It outlines strategies for raising revenue

and their projections for the plan period. Strategies for asset management, financial management

and capital financing are also outlined. These include strategies to expand the revenue generation,

resource sharing with the centralgovernment and means of attracting external funding.

COUNTY INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2013-2017- COUNTY OF BARINGO Page xxii

Chapter Nine: Presents a framework for the management of investment in the county. It provides

a mechanism for selection of projects and allocation of resources to devolve public resources

beyond the county level.

Chapter Ten: Outlines the institutional framework and organisational flow to be followed in

implementing the plan. It also outlines the stakeholders in the county, their roles and how their

functions are accommodated to avoid duplication of efforts. This section also identifies the sectorial

plans that will need to be developed.

Chapter Eleven: Development programs and projects. This involves a programmatic identification

of development priorities, projects and programmes as well as the strategies to realise the said

programmes. The projects were identified by the public in ward and sub-county fora held

throughout the county.

There are also on-going priority projects and programmes in the respective MTEF sectors that had

been identified and proposed for implementation in the plan period 2008-2012. Flagship projects

relevant to the county have also been identified.The MTEF sectors are agriculture and rural

development; energy; infrastructure and ICT; general economic, commercial and labour affairs;

health; social protection, culture and recreation; justice; law and order water and housing; public

administration an internal relations; environmental protection, education and; governance.

Chapter Twelve: Elaborates on the implementation, monitoring and evaluation framework for all

the projects. It gives details in a matrix format of the implementation plans together with monitoring

and evaluation strategies. The overall M&E committees in the county will be the CMEC, which will

be mandated and facilitated to ensure its activities reflect a serious M&E agency. The CMEC will

be reporting to other development committee‘s inthe county. The proposed system is expected to

boost efficiency and ensure projects/programmes are implemented according to approved proposals

so as to realize targeted outputs and outcomes.

This county integrated development plan is informed by the national strategic direction as

articulated in the Vision 2030 that guides Kenya to become a newly industrialised middle-income

country that provides high quality life for all citizens by the year 2030. The vision is based on three

pillars namely: Economic pillar, whose key goal is to maintain a sustained economic growth of 10%

annually over the next 25 years. The second one is the social pillar, whose goal is to build a just and

cohesive society enjoying equitable social development in a clean and secure environment. The

third is political pillar, which aims at building an issue-based, people-centred, result-oriented and

accountable democratic political system.

The pillars are anchored in key foundations namely: Infrastructure, energy, science, technology and

innovation, land reforms, human resource development, security and public service.

The county fact sheet elsewhere in the CIDP presents a broad range of the county statistics at a

glance. It captures factual information such as county area, ecological and climatic conditions and

demographic features. The socio-economic indicators and basic data in specific sectors are also

provided, as they have a direct bearing on the county‘s development agenda and poverty reduction

strategies.

In conclusion, a well-managed devolution of functions from the national government as provided in

the constitution is predicted to spur unprecedented development in Baringo County. The realisation

COUNTY INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2013-2017- COUNTY OF BARINGO Page xxiii

of the county‘s development agenda is pegged on adequate and timely disbursement of funds,

proper coordination in implementation of development activities and robust monitoring and

evaluation system for ongoing programmes and projects funded through internal and external

resources.

It is, therefore, recommended that a CMEC is formed and mandated to spearhead monitoring and

evaluation at the county level. The CMEC should be composed of members representing national

and county government agencies, civil society organisations and other stakeholders. This plan

proposes that the head of this committee be domiciled and answerable directly to the governor or

his appointee.

Annex I.

Map 1: The position of Baringo County in Kenya (Source: ILRI Data)


1.1. Location and size

Baringo is one of the 47 counties in Kenya. It is situated in the Rift Valley region. It borders

Turkana and Samburu counties to the north, Laikipia to the east, Nakuru and Kericho to the

south, Uasin Gishu to the southwest, and Elgeyo-Marakwet and West Pokot to the west. It is

located between longitudes 35 30‘ and 36 30‘ East and between latitudes 0 10‘ South and 1 40‘.

The Equator cuts across the county at the southern part. Baringo covers an area of 11,015.3 sq

km of which 165 sq km is covered by surface water- Lake Baringo, Lake Bogoria and Lake

Kamnarok.

Map2: Baringo and surrounding counties – (Source: ILRI)


1.2. Physical features

1.2.1. Topography

As shown in Map 3, Baringo varies in

altitude between 3000m above mean sea

level at its highest points and nearly 700m

above mean sea level at its low points.

Map3: Elevation and rivers in Baringo

(Source: ILRI Data)

One of the prominent features is the

Kerio Valley, which is situated on the

western part of the county. In the

eastern part of the county near Lake

Baringo and Bogoria is the Loboi

Plain covered mainly by the

latchstring salt-impregnated silts and

deposits. The Tugen Hills form a

conspicuous topographic feature in the

county. The trend of the hills is north-

south and mainly consists of volcanic

rocks. The hills have steep slopes with

prominent gullies. On the eastern and

western parts of the hills are

escarpments. Rivers on the hills flow

in very deep gorges.

1.2.2. Water bodies

The floor of the Rift Valley owes its origin to the tectonic and volcanic disturbances, which

have dislocated surfaces, forming separate ridges. The troughs of the rift that have a north-

south alignment are occupied by Lake Baringo and Bogoria, which occupy 164km2. Lake

Bogoria is particularly spectacular because it is one of the few hot water lakes in the world.

Lake Kamnarok covers 1km2.

1.2.3. Ecological conditions

Exotic forests exist in the county but the known indigenous forests are found in Kabarnet,

Kabartonjo, Tenges, Lembus, Saimo, Sacho and Ol‘ Arabel and Eldama Ravine. The main


exotic species are: Grevellea Rabusta, Cuppressus lusitanicand Eucalyptus saligna.

Prosopis juliflora also exists in Marigat area.Kipng‘ochoch forest in Sacho, one of the 10

forest blocks under Tenges forest station, is an example of a well conserved indigenous

forest where visitors and nature lovers could view the entire Lake Baringo basin, fluorspar

mines, Laikipia ranges, Elgeyo escarpment, Kerio Valley and other touristic attractions that

the county offers.The county is classified as arid and semi-arid. Most parts of East Pokot,

Baringo Central, Baringo South, Baringo North, Mogotio sub-counties are arid and semi-

arid except for Koibatek sub-county, which is in a highland zone.

1.2.4. Climatic conditions

The rainfall varies from 1,000mm to 1,500mm in the highlands to 600mm per annum in the

lowlands. Due to their varied altitudes, the sub-counties receive different levels of rainfall.

Koibatek sub-county receives the highest amount of rainfall. The lowland sub-counties of

Mogotio, East Pokot and Baringo North receive relatively low amounts. The temperatures

range from a minimum of 10°C to a maximum of 35°C in different parts of the county.

Average wind speed is 2m/s and the humidity is low.The climate of Baringo varies from

humid highlands to arid lowlands while some regions are between these extremes.

1.3. Administrative and political units

1.3.1. Administrative units (sub-counties, wards, locations)

The county is made up of six sub-counties namely: Mogotio, Koibatek, Marigat, Baringo

As indicated in Table 2, the total number of registered voters in the county in 2012 was

171,344 against the eligible voter population of 244,410. The sub-county with the lowest

registered voters was East Pokot with 40 percent population of registered voters. The

constituency with the highest percentage of registered voters was in Eldama Ravine

constituency with 80 percent of the eligible voters being registered.The IEBC needs to

conduct more civic education and registration to increase the number of registered voters,

especially in Baringo East and Baringo North constituencies.

(Age NS = Age not shown)

According to the table, in 2012 the categories between 0-4 and 5-9 age groups had the

largest populations of 101,043and 101,312. The gender distributions in the same age groups

were 51 per cent male and 48 per cent female respectively for the 0-4 age group and 5-9 age

groups. The cohorts with the lowest population are those whose age is between 75-79 years,

with 46 per cent male and 53 per cent female.

1.4.2. Population density and distribution

The population density is influenced by the climatic conditions, topography, soil

composition, infrastructure and land ownership. Table 4 shows the population density and

distribution in the county. The county's average population density was 50 persons per

square kilometer in 2009 and is projected to be 55 in 2012 and approximately 60 by 2017.

As indicated in Table 2, East Pokot Sub-county has the highest population of 133,189

followed by Eldama Ravine Sub-county with a population of 105,273 (according 2009

Population and Housing Census). The sub-counties with the lowest population are Mogotio

and Marigat. The settlement pattern in the county is influenced by urbanization and

availability of arable and grazing land. The county is predominantly inhabited by the Tugen

community. The Ilchamus, Turkana, Kikuyu and Nubians communities are the minorities in

the county among a few other sub-tribes. Table 5 gives population projections for selected

age groups. The groups covered include under 1 year, the under 5 years, primary school age,

secondary school age, youthful population, female reproductive age, the labor force and the

aged.

Source: KNBS, 2012

Below is an analysis of the population projections for the selected age groups based on the

figures in Table 5:

Figure 7: Population distribution by age


Figure 8: Population Distribution by Age

Under 1: The population below the age of one year was 19,088 in 2009 and is projected to

rise to 21,074 in 2012 and 24,855 in 2017. This age group will grow at a low rate, thus the

pressure on the population to provide for this age group will be minimal. There is need,

however, to improve the facilities that cater for this age group in order to correspond with

the increased population.

Under 5: This population is projected to grow from 110,385 in 2009 to 121,872 in 2012

before rising further to 143,735 in 2017. There is need to increase the immunisation

coverage to improve child survival rate. Early Childhood Development (ECD) centres and

other educational facilities should be provided in order to accommodate the increased

numbers.

Primary school going age (6 -13): The total population in this age group is projected to

increase from 142,666 in 2009 to 157,513 in 2012 and to 185,769 in 2017. This increased

number will constrain the primary education facilities. The county should, therefore, focus

on increasing these facilities.

Secondary school going age (14-17): In 2009, the population for this age group was

58,508. It is projected to increase to 64,598 in 2012 and 76,185 in 2017. There is need to

expand the existing secondary school facilities to cater for the increasing numbers. In

2009/2010 financial year, the government through the Economic Stimulus Programmes

developed centres of excellence in the county but more needs to be done.


Youth population (15-29): From the 2009 census, the county had a total of 151,709 with

male and female population being 75,407 and 76,302 respectively. This represents an

average of 30% of the total population, indicating that the county has a high demand for

middle level training colleges.

Female reproductive age (15-49): This group comprises of the female reproductive age.

The total female reproductive age population was 121,084 in 2009 and is projected to be

133,685 in 2012 before rising to 157,667 in 2017. This implies that there is a need to

increase resources going towards improving maternal and child care health services and

nutrition standards. In addition, there is need to intensify reproductive health and family

planning education in order to check population growth in the county.

Labour force (15-64): The County‘s labour force in 2009 was 268,035 and is projected to

rise to 295,928 in 2012 before rising further to 349,016 in 2017. The bulk of the labour force

is either semi-skilled or unskilled and is mainly engaged in agricultural activities. This calls

for more investments in job creation opportunities in the county to absorb this ever-

increasing population.

The aged (65 years and above): The 2009 aged population was 18,438, and it is projected

to increase to 21,074 in 2012 and 24,855 in 2017. There is need to upscale programmes

catering for the aged, including increasing funding from the cash transfer programme.

Figure 9: Urban Population in Baringo

There are two major urban centres in the county, namely, Kabarnet and Eldama Ravine.

Timboroa, Marigat, Maji Mazuri and Mogotio are growing and need urgent proper urban

planning to avoid slum dwellings. The town with highest population in 2009 was Eldama

Ravine with a population of 17,872 followed by Kabarnet with 17,645. The population for

the two towns is projected to be 19,732 and 19,481 respectively, in 2012.]

1.5. Human development indicators

The Human Development Indicators (HDI) measure human development based on the basic

factors of a long and healthy life, the acquisition of knowledge and a reasonable standard of

living. These factors are measured by considering aspects such as education, healthy living,

access to social amenities, the position and condition of women and gross domestic product.

Figure 10: Comparison of Human Development Indicators in Baringo against national figures


Indicator County Index National Index

Human Development Index 0.5656 0.5506

Youth Development Index 0.5952 0.5817

Gender Development Index 0.50

Human Poverty Index 0.30 0.29

Figure 11: Human Development Indicators in Baringo

From the human development report of 2009, the human development index for the county

is 0.5656 which is above the national average of 0.5506. The human poverty index is 30.6

per cent compared to the national level of 29 per cent.

1.5.1. Youth Development Index (YDI)

The YDI is a composite measure of youth development. The index is a tool developed to

raise visibility of youth issues by monitoring the changes that occur in the youth over time.

The youth development index at the county is 0.5952, which is above the national index,

which is 0.5817

1.5.2. Gender Development Index (GDI) and Gender Empowerment Measure

(GEM)

The GDI is a measure of human development that adjusts the HDI for disparities between

men and women. It is, therefore, not a measure of gender inequality. GDI is a basic measure

of how gender inequalities in knowledge acquisition, longevity and health, and standard of

living affect human development.

GEM measures gender equity in political and economic power by assessing the level of

female representation. It considers gender gaps in political representation, professional and

management positions, and earned incomes. It captures gender inequality in political

participation, as measured by the percentage of seats held by women in national parliaments;

economic participation and decision-making power, measured by the percentage of women

among legislators, senior officials, and managers in professional and technical fields; and

power of economic resources measured by the estimated earned income of women and men.

On the other hand, the gender development index for the county is 0.50 per cent. The above

indices show that the county is generally underdeveloped.

1.6. Infrastructure and access

1.6.1. Road, rail network, airports and airstrips

A modern and well-maintained physical infrastructure is a key catalyst to economic growth

and poverty reduction. The county does not have a good road network. It has a total

2912.55km of road with Class D, E, G, R and U having 339.22km, 1810km, 20.85km,

185.11km, and 557.37k respectively. The roads are mainly earth and mixed type. These

roads are usually impassable during the rainy season. This impedes livestock marketing,

which is the main source of livelihood for majority of the residents. There are four airstrips

in the county and no airport, ports or jetties.

mail and parcel delivery services in rural and urban areas with nine post offices in various

urban areas across the county. Most of the fixed telephone lines provided by Telkom Kenya

in the county have been vandalised. However, there is mobile telephone coverage in various

parts of the county in varying degrees. Koibatek Sub County has the highest mobile phone

coverage in the county with 65.3 per cent, while East Pokot has the lowest mobile phone

coverage of 16.8 per cent. Generally the county has an average mobile coverage of 45 per

cent, which is very low.

1.6.3. Financial Sector: Banks, SACCOS and Micro-Finance Institutions

The main banks operating in the county are: Kenya Commercial Bank, Barclays, Equity

Bank and Transnational Bank, all of them in major urban areas. Some of these banks use

agents to dispense their services in the local shopping centres and villages.

Post Bank, KADET, KWFT and Faulu also have a presence in the county. Other financial

institutions in the county are: Baringo farmers SACCO, Boresha Sacco, Sabatia Farmers

Co-operative Society and Torongo Farmers Co-operative Society.The county is also

extensively served with mobile money transfer agents.

1.6.4. Education institutions

The county has 656 primary schools with total enrollment of 143,017pupils. Since the

introduction of free primary education, remarkable improvement in enrollment has been

observed. The county‘s performance in national examination has greatly improved over the

years in spite of the unique challenges facing pupils.

On the other hand, there are 125 secondary schools with a total enrolment of 27,374 students

as at 2012. Among notable challenges facing the sector include, harsh climatic conditions,

especially in the lower parts of the county, insecurity that often results in the closure of

some schools, poor infrastructure, prolonged drought, recurrent floods, high illiteracy rates

and retrogressive cultural practices.

Development of human capital through capacity building programmes is one avenue for

creating resilient communities. Education is important in achieving this objective as it

inculcates skills and competencies necessary for productive participation in economic

activities. However, Baringo County education sector is characterised by low enrolments,

low retention and transition rates and low completion rates. The high school dropout and

low transition are attributable to insecurity, food insecurity, retrogressive cultural practices,

spatially inadequate education infrastructure and poor staffing levels. The county

government shall support and partner with development agencies in peace building efforts

and peace-dividend project/programmes, upscale and expansion of diverse school feeding

programmes, including food-for-education initiatives, investment in low cost boarding

schools, establishment of income-generating activities (IGAs) in boarding schools to support


initiatives for child rescue from FGM and early marriages. The county government shall

also mobilise resources for consistent funding for education bursary schemes, ECD facilities

and improvement of staffing by training and deployment of teachers. It shall also support

informal education and vocational training programmes by funding establishment and

staffing of relevant institutions.

The county has 12 polytechnics, one public teacher training college, six commercial colleges

and one university campus. The adult literacy classes‘ enrollment as of 2011 was 2,506.

1.6.5. Energy access

In the recent past, the government, through the rural electrification programme in

collaboration with the Kenya Power Company, has increased the electricity connectivity in

the rural areas of the county. Electricity connections in the county stand at 10,400 with a

connection of 2,346 connections in the year 2010-2011 alone.Baringo County has a potential

of geothermal energy production around Lake Bogoria and Silale in East Pokot. Tullow Oil

Company has established a base in the county, Block 12A, to conduct oil exploration.

Government-owned Geothermal Development Company has also started drilling geothermal

energy at Silale area in East Pokot Sub County. This new developments will spur

development growth in the county.

The county government shall support and partner with other development agencies to ensure

wider access to energy by households, institutions and businesses. This will attract

investments and open up new opportunities for cottage industry and value addition, which

will lead to increased employment and citizen participation in the county economy. The

county government shall also mobilise resources for research and development of alternative

energy sources that will exploit existing and potential resources such as Prosopis julifera for

electricity generation, Jatropha circus for bio-diesel, locally available biomass for biogas

besides options in geothermal, solar and wind energy.

1.6.6. Markets and urban centres

There are two urban centres in the county: Kabarnet and Eldama Ravine. Marigat, Maji

Mazuri, Mogotio, Timboroa and Kabartonjo are upcoming urban centres. None of the urban

centres in the county has a sewerage facility but all are supplied with electricity. Kabarnet,

Eldama Ravine and Timboroa have a good supply of water while Mogotio, Maji Mazuri and

Kabartonjo do not have a good supply of running water.

Under Economic Stimulus Programme Markets, infrastructure was improved with

construction of new structures in Marigat, Baringo North and Mogotio sub counties. Jua kali

sheds were also built in Baringo Central and Mogotio counties.

1.6.7. Housing types

The main types of roofing in the county are corrugated iron sheets at 60 per cent followed by

grass-thatched roofing estimated to be 40 per cent. Other types of roofing are: Tiles, concrete


asbestos, makuti and mud among others. The main wall materials used in construction in the

county are wood and mud estimated at 66 per cent according to the 2009 national population

and housing census. This is followed by wood only at 33 per cent. Other walling materials are

stone, brick and block, mud and cement, corrugated iron sheets, grass/reeds and tin, among

others.

Government housing facilities in the county are few. In Baringo Central, there are 170

government houses while in Mogotio and Eldama Ravine there are 214 housing units.

1.7. Land and land use

The county can be divided into two major zones: the highlands and the lowlands. The higher

elevations of the county are in the modified tropical zones with soils that are generally well

drained and fertile. This zone contains the high potential areas for agricultural and improved

livestock development. In the Tugen Hills, coffee is grown in small scale while food crops like

cereals, fruit trees and horticultural crops are also cultivated. These agricultural activities are

combined with elaborate soil conservation measures. In the southwest part, there is large-scale

farming of cereals and horticultural crops, while Kerio Valley has potential for cotton

production.

The lowlands are in a semi-arid to arid climatic zone. They have complex soils with various

textures and drainage conditions which have developed from alluvial deposits. Some of these

soils are saline. A large area is characterised by shallow stony sandy soils with rock outcrops,

volcanic ash and lava boulders. This zone is essentially a rangeland and apart from scattered

isolated pockets of dryland subsistence agriculture and small-scale irrigation in Marigat,

Kollowa and Barwessa, the major socio-economic activities centre on livestock and bee

keeping.

Although much has been done, a large part of the county‘s potential is yet to be developed.

Most of the highlands can be developed by the introduction of effective and efficient methods

of soil conservation and land management. In the lowlands, the main issue is lack of adequate

moisture for crop growth. This means development of adaptable rainwater harvesting and

storage technologies, irrigated cultivation and introduction of drip irrigation and drought

resistant crops can improve the livelihoods of the farmers in the area. Indeed, adaptable land

use planning and zoning is necessary but not limited to designation of rural and urban

settlements, irrigation, rangelands, conservancies and riparian areas.

The county government shall invest in, and support development partners in community

mobilisation and capacity building on adaptable technologies responsive to the adverse impacts

of climate change and ASAL conditions. This will aim at creating settlement zones away from

areas mapped as disaster prone, while allowing for mechanisation and other adaptable

technologies, which enhance economies of scale and sustainable natural resource use.

From the above map it is clear that the county is majorly semi-arid with few pockets suitable

for intensive agriculture. Mixed farming is mainly found in the highland areas.

Figure 13: Land Use in Baringo (Source: ILRI Data)


1.8. Mean land holding size

From the above map it is clear that the county is majorly semi-arid with few pockets suitable

for intensive agriculture. Mixed farming is mainly found in the highland areas whereas

pastoralism is majorly practiced in arid regions. Average land holding in the county is

approximately 2.5 hectares per household. In most parts of the county, the land has not been

demarcated and pastoralism is practiced.

1.8.1. Percentage of land with title deeds

Most land in the county is under trust and is owned by the community. About 30 per cent of

land is demarcated and owners issued with title deeds. Eldama Ravine and Baringo Central

sub counties have the higher numbers of title deeds issuance compared to Baringo North,

Marigat and East Pokot sub counties.

1.8.2. Landlessness in Baringo

The county has low incidence of landlessness since most of the land in the county is

communal. However, there is presence of squatters near the urban centers of Mogotio and

Marigat.

1.9. Community organisations/non-state actors

There are various community organisations operating in the county and are mostly involved

in relief operations, water actitivies, HIV and AIDS, civic education and disaster

management. Some operate under religious organisations while others are under the

communities. Development activities undertaken by these organisations vary both in nature

and magnitude. Some have small focal areas like sub counties, divisions, locations or sub-

locations where health and sanitation services, food production and nutrition, and early

childhood education activities are being undertaken. Some Community Based Organisations

(CBOs) are engaged in health, childcare, civil education, environment conservation and

community capacity building. Some women groups are engaged in dairy, poultry farming,

tree nursery, HIV and AIDS and revolving loans, among other activities.

The county government through the County Disaster Risk Management Committee shall

enhance community organisation by supporting participatory processes for DRR

mainstreaming and formation and capacity building of community DRR organisations and

structures. This will lead to improved community capacities to manage disasters and

spearhead implementation of programmes for resilience building. The main objective of this

approach will be to end disaster emergencies in order to unlock resources for development

initiatives.

1.9.1. Cooperative societies

The Co-operatives Department in Baringo promotes guides and supervises the activities of

all types of cooperative societies to ensure viable development and to improve the members‘

economic well being. There are approximately 146 registered cooperative societies in the


county. Out of these, 82 are active, while 66 are dormant. Total membership is 87,998 —

68,626 males and 19,372 females. Share capital is 2,476,125,040. Gross turnover is

831,947,396. Details are as indicated in the table below.

1.9.2. Non-governmental and international organisations

The following are the non-governmental organisations in the county: Action Aid, ACTED,

World Vision Kenya, Kenya Red Cross Society, International Union for Conservation of

Nature (IUCN), Koibatek Socio-Environmental Organisation (KOSEO) Enderois Welfare

Council, Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF), SNV –Netherlands, NECOFA, BARECARE,

Women Organization Fighting Against Aids (WOFAK), Habitat for Humanity, Friends of

Ravine Women Empowerment Organisation (FOREWO) and Baringo Advocacy and

Development Organisation (BADO), World Food Programme (WFP) and

UNICEF/UNOPS.

They are key partners in enhancing the socio-economic wellbeing of the county‘s residents.

1.9.3. Self help, women and youth groups

Self-Help groups, women and youth groups play an important role in resource

mobilisationand improving the lives of individuals and families. There are 3375 women

groups, 4610 self-help groups, 2183 youth groups and 85 special groups (people living with

disability, those living with HIV and AIDS and groups of the elderly). They are engaged in

transport, environment, HIV and AIDs, business, dairy farming, tree nursery, revolving

loans, bee keeping, community facilitation, jua kali and training support among other social

economic activities.

1.9.4. Orphans and vulnerable children-cash transfer.

The county is receiving funds under the orphans and vulnerable children cash transfer from

the National Council for Children Services.Currently, 2259 households are in the cash

transfer programme in four sub-counties: Baringo Central, Marigat,Koibatek and Mogotio.

During the 2013 financial year, over KES 54,216,000 was given to the households.

In the 2013/14 financial year, the programme will be scaled up in some uncovered locations

an in East Pokot and Baringo North.

1.9.5. Kabarnet Vocational Rehabilitation Centre (KVRC)

The centre is one of the 14 established nationally with the purpose of providing basic live

skills like carpentry, welding, tailoring, leatherwork and computer training mainly to

persons with disability but also to integrated able-bodied persons. The facility is located on a

20-acreland in Kabarnet town. The courses take between 1-2 years and the participants

graduate with trade test certificate. There are plans of elevating it to offer courses leading to

a diploma certificate. Currently, the centre has 15 trainees and is seeking to recruit more.

The centre is also used as a seminar/conference/training facility to programmes like ECDE,

therefore generating revenue. There is room for further improvement by the county

government and other actors. Over 200 trainees have exited the centre and are gainfully

engaged.


1.9.6. Marigat Community Capacity Support Programme (CCSP Marigat)

The centre is located in Baringo South Sub-County and was initially established for the

purpose of training mothers on basic nutrition skills to address the malnutrition problem that

was prevalent in the area. However, the centre is currently available as a training facility to

the community and other development partners willing to give training at a fee. Over 25

trainings have been conducted at the centre with over 400 trainees.

1.9.7. GOK grants to community initiatives

These are Government of Kenya grants given to groups as a form of compliment/recognition

for the efforts made by the groups. The groups are then used as models for others. The

benefitting groups are identified by the respective District Gender and Social Development

Committees established popularly by the community group members. During the last

financial year 2012/2013, each sub-county disbursed Sh600,000, bringing the total for the

county to Sh3,600,000. The county government can replicate this.

1.9.8. Older Persons Cash Transfer (OPCT)

This is a national programme that is run in all the constituencies in Kenya. Currently, there

are 170 beneficiaries in each of the sub-counties -- Koibatek, Mogotio, Baringo North and

Baringo East in phase iii. Baringo Central has 732 beneficiaries from phase ii, Marigat has

only 18 beneficiaries, being a replacement from those exiting in Baringo Central. This is

because Marigat had not been declared a constituency of its own by the time of phase iii.

During the next financial, year the national government intends to double the number of

beneficiaries. However, considering the number of eligible applicants per ward is 500, it‘s

important that the county government seeks ways of complimenting the national

government by establishing a county OPCT programme. The current total OPCT grant in

the county as at 2012/2013 financial year is 1,442 beneficiaries x Sh2,000 monthly x 12

months=Sh34,608,000.

1.9.9. People With Severe Disability (PWSD) cash transfer

This is also a national programme operating just like the elderly persons cash transfer above

except that it handles/serves people with severe disability. Currently, each of the sub-

counties apart from Marigat receives 70 beneficiaries Sh2,000x 12 months x 5 sub-counties

bringing the total grant/stipend payment in the county Sh8,400,000. Marigat shares the 70

slots with Baringo Central –Marigat 38 and Baringo Central 32. The county government can

consider establishing PWSD cash transfer programme.

1.9.10. National Fund for the Disabled of Kenya/ National Council for People

with Disability (NFDK/NCPWD)

The two are private and semi-government bodies assisting people with disability with

assistive devices and grants. Assistive devices include wheel chairs, white canes, crutches,

tailoring machines, carpentry and welding tool kits to assist PWDs with movement and

livelihoods. During the last financial year, the NFDK provided 46 pieces of different


assistive devices and Sh200,000 to an institution. The NCPWD provided 106 devices and

Sh1,000,000 to one group. The county government should source for more partners to

enhance this programme so as to cater for the many needy cases.

1.9.11. Women Enterprise Fund (WEF)

This is a national government sponsored programme meant to provide revolving loans to

women groups. The initiative was initiallyrun by the Women Enterprise Fund Secretariat in

Nairobi and using the department of Gender and Social Development and the WEF

volunteers. Up to the last financial year, 2012/2013, more than200 women groups in

Baringo county have benefitted with more than Sh16, 000,000. During the current financial

year, more groups will benefit from the national government pledge of Sh3 billion.

However, the county needs to enhance the utilisation of this facility.

1.10. Crop, livestock and fish production

1.10.1. Main crops produced

Crops grown in the county are: Maize, finger millet, sorghum, beans, cowpeas, green grams,

garden peas, Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes. Beans and maize cover the largest acreage in the

county while Irish potatoes and garden peas cover the lowest acreage. Maize and beans are

mainly grown in the highlands while finger millet and sorghum are grown in the lowlands.

Maize is the leading food and cash crop in Baringo County, but, its production has been low

due to poor rainfall distribution and poor crop husbandry. Coffee has registered a decreasing

trend in production due to high costs of production and erratic market prices. Although

coffee prices have recently been favourable, the production has remained low due to

previous neglect of the coffee bushes by the farmers.

Baringo achieved 309 hectares in 2012 that yielded 17,167 bags of rice worth Sh108 million

and is currently targeting 500 hectares expected to produce 27,000 bags. To improve the

county‘s food security, the county government shall support, promote and partner with

development agencies on programmes integrating in situ rainwater harvesting technologies,

flood recession agriculture and harnessing of streams and rivers to expand irrigation

command land. The county government shall also support development and implementation

of programmes that conserve the environment and catchment areas. It will also support those

that ensure sustainable natural resource use and disaster risk reduction. The county

government shall mobilise resources to support ongoing and new community-managed

livelihood projects.

1.10.3. Average farm sizes

The average farm size is 2.5ha. Landholding in the county varies from one sub-county

to another. Whereas landholding in the southern part of the county, that is, Koibatek

Sub-Sounty, averages 2.5ha and demarcated with title deeds, land is still communal

and managed by the community inthe northern part, that is, the East Pokot Sub-

County.

1.10.4. Main storage facilities

Most farmers still use traditional mode of storage, that is, granaries, to store harvests

for subsistence. The county is also served by the National Cereals and Produce Board,

which has four depots in the county that are located in Eldama Ravine, Marigat,

Kimalel and Kabarnet. The stores assist farmers to store surplus produce.


1.11. Livestock population

The main livestock in the county include the East African Zebu Cattle in the lowlands and

exotic cattle in the highlands of Baringo Central and Koibatek Sub-Counties. Other activities

include bee keeping and honey production, hides and skins. To improve on income and

livelihood diversification, the county government will support programmes on value addition

in among others honey, meats, fish, hides and skins, poultry, dairy, rabbit and pasture/hay

storage, while prioritising programmes on diversification to emerging livestock, including

ostriches, guinea fowls, doves, crocodiles, camels, snakes and termites.

1.11.3. Main fishing activities

There are over 400 fishing households in Lake Baringo and 700 fish farmers with

fishponds in the county. In the recent past, 35 dams have also been stocked with

910,000 fingerlings mainly of the Tilapia and Clarias species. Fishponds in the county

occupy over 184,000 square metres. The main fish species are protopterous (lung

fish), tilapia and clarias. Fish farmers obtain their fingerlings from Omega farm,

Kokwo Island, Lake Baringo or Jewlet Farm, Kendu Bay, Homabay County at a price

of between Sh7 and Sh11. The survival rates are estimated at 90%. The fishing gear

being used by the fishermen are: Fishing nets, hooks, traps, motorboats and canoes.

The total value of fish is approximately Sh11.8 million.

1.11.4. Forestry and agro-forestry

The forest resources in the county are important assets for the provision of basic

needs, conservation and improvement of physical conditions of the county. They

supply essential wood products, employment opportunities, revenue collection base,

control soil erosion and conserve of water catchment areas.

1.11.5. Main forest types and sizes of forests

Baringo County has 65,280.4ha of forests, which are gazetted. The established

plantations cover an area of 13,940ha, while the rest is natural forest. The distribution

of forests within the county is shown in Table 9. Cases of felling of cedar, podo and

osyris lanceolata as well as sandal wood harvesting and charcoal burning are a threat

to the forest cover in the county.

1.11.6. Forest products from gazetted and ungazetted forests

The main forest products in the county are honey, wood, timber, posts, poles and

bamboo for fencing.


1.11.7. Promotion of agro-forestry and green economy

Protection of water catchment area: A number of residents depend on the forests to

earn a living. They keep bees, harvest timber and burn charcoal. These actitivies —

charcoal burning and timber harvesting — contribute to deforestation and destruction

of water catchments. The major water catchment areas are Lembus/Koibatek

(northern Mau catchment) to the south, Tugen Hills, Mochongoi and Ng‘elecha to the

east, Amaya and Tiati Hills to the north east and north respectively. Several attempts

have been made by the forest department to protect them. This is by planting trees

along the rivers and lakes and discouraging human settlement near it.The Water

Resources Management Authority (WRMA) together with the communities is making

an effort to manage and plan for resource use and allocation in the county. They do

this by classifying the catchment areas into various categories as follows:

Lake Baringo catchment (foursub-catchments — Perkerra, Molo, Endao and Ol

Arabel), Lake Bogoria catchment (tow sub-catchments — Waseges and Emsos),

Kerio North (five sub-catchments — Kipsaa, Turukwei, Mbara, Kaptich and Yeptos),

and Lake Kamnarok (Pemwai).

The Tiati catchment (comprising Amaya, Nginyang‘ and Kolowa) is based on

seasonal rivers. In this, they plan to make sub-catchment management plans, which

shall comprise 60 water resource users associations. Six have already been completed.

Prevention of soil erosion: Farmers are encouraged to plough 30m away from rivers.

This is to avoid soil from being swept downstream into the rivers. There is need to

plant more trees and increase soil conservation measures like building gabions and

terracing.

Provision of soil fertility by growing nitrogen-fixing trees: The players in the

environmental, water and housing sub-sector will enhance the growing of nitrogen

fixing agroforestry trees to improve the condition of soils used for farming. These

trees capture nitrogen from the air and deposit in the soil through theroots and falling

leaves. They also pull nutrients to the surface, enabling crops with short roots to

absorb them.

Growing of fruits trees: For domestic use and the surplus sold.Mangoes, avocado

and oranges are grown in the high altitude areas of Timboroa and Kabarnet, while

pawpaw, bananas and watermelons thrive in the lowlands of Mogotio and

Marigat.Their full potential is, however, yet to be exploited. Birrea fruit trees are

grown in some parts of Kerio Valley.

Provision of carbon sinks: Towerpower, a private electricity producer, has been

licensed by National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA) to put up a 1.15

megawatts bio fuel plant in Marigat Sub-County. The bio fuel plant will be fed by

residue such as wheat and sisal waste, and earn carbon credits. It willemitan estimated

50,000 tonnes ofcarbon.Geothermal Development Companyis looking to register and

implement Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects for Bogoria-Silale block.

This is bound to spur economic growth in the county.


Beautification activities: These are mainly in urban centres, highways, schools,

homes and other public places. Eldama Ravine and Kabarnet towns have benefited

from beautification programmes from the local government funds.

Animal feeds production: Star grass and remnants from farm produce are processed

for the purpose of producing feeds for livestock. To ensure sufficient livestock feed

during periods of scarcity, and especially during disasters, programmes for

rangeland/pasture improvement will be supported and implemented with community

participation for sustainability. To achieve this, the county government shall mobilise

resources for these programmes and also partner with stakeholders to promote and

support DRR initiatives for pasture reseeding, enclosures, deferred grazing and seed

production. It will also support efforts for land reclamation from the invasive

Prosopis juliflora for pasture production and subsequent conservation/preservation as

standing or baled hay to create fodder banks.

Growing and processing for medicinal purposes/value plants and products:

Baringois rich in medicinal value trees. Several indigenous medicinal trees grow

naturally in forests. Aloe Vera and sandalwood are among the most important

medicinal plants in the county. European Union has invested in constructing an

industry in Baringo Central Sub-County.

1.12. Environment and climate change

1.12.1. Major contributors to environmental degradation

One of the greatest challenges facing the county is environmental degradation,

including deforestation, desertification, pollution and climate change — an issue of

increasing concern for the local, national and international community.Overgrazing,

overstocking, unregulated charcoal burning and cultivation of steep slopes among

other factors degrade the environment. With frequent droughts occurring in the

county, the effects are profound.

Oil pollution garages and petrol stations is another environmental

challenge.Workshops disposing off sawdust and waste timber often burn the sawdust,

producing pungent fumes that polute the air. Raw sewage pollutes water hence

environmental risk, but clinical waste is the most hazardous.

The problem of waste management in the county is a serious one. As mentioned

earlier, none of the urban centres in the county has a sewerage treatment system and

there are no formal garbage disposal sites.

Management of plastic waste: The disposal and management of plastic waste

presents a great challenge to the county, more so to the urban areas. The worst

category of plastic is the carrier bags. They are blown by the wind, littering

everywhere, including wetlands and cause a great eyesore. These bags also often

chock and kill animals. Since disposal by burning releases toxic gases into the


atmosphere, there is urgent need for both the national and county government to

formulate a policy in the use and management of this special category of waste.

1.12.2. Effects of environmental degradation

Environmental degradation in certain parts of the county is severe. Some parts are

covered with deep gullies, especially in East Pokot, Mogotio, Kerio Valley, Arabal

and lower parts of Koibatek. Settlement in protected areasand those with fragile

ecosystemshas adverse effects in the long run. It reduces agriculture and livestock

output and consequently household incomes. It is also likely to cause human-wildlife

conflict and wildlife migration, which will have negative effect on tourism promotion

and the county‘s economy. There are inadequate measures in place to curb this.

Effects of the major environmental problems on both health and productivity include:

a. Water pollution and water scarcity: These are not only a health risk, but

they also increase the cost of production, as residents have to spend more to

get clean water. They also result in declining fisheries and aquifer depletion,

leading to irreversible compaction.

b. Solid and hazardous wastes: Uncollected garbage and blocked drains are

health risks. Thet also afferct productivity through the pollution of

groundwater resources.

c. Soil degradation: Depleted soils reduce productivity.

d. Deforestation: Causes flooding in lower zones of Mogotio and East Pokot

sub-counties. This not only results in destruction of property but also causes

health risks. Loss of sustainable logging potential and of erosion prevention,

watershed stability and carbon sequestration provided by forests are among the

productivity impacts of deforestation.

1.12.3. Climate change and its effects

Climate change leads to an increase in the intensity and frequency of weather

extremes, floods, landslides and droughts. The greatest impact of the effects of

climate change is borne by vulnerable segments of communities who lack the

resilienceor capacity to prepare, adapt and rebuild (recover).

Extreme weather events, such as severe flooding, increase the risk of waterborne and

vector-borne diseases, such as malaria and diarrhea.

1.12.4. Climate change mitigation measures and adaptation strategies

Given the effects of environmental degradation and climate change, there is need for

climate change mitigation. Outlined below are measures thatstakeholders can

implement to mitigate effects of climate change.

Community participation in climate change adaptation will be enhanced to curb

environmental degradation. In addition, environmental education and awareness

training in schools and colleges will be promoted. The county government shall


support volunteer programmes and formationof ward/sub-county-specific thematic

DRRaction groups to implement climate change and other related disaster mitigation

measures.

Another measure is the intra and inter-county collaboration together with various

climate groups and organisations to better understand the causes and impacts of

climate change.

1.13. Mining

1.13.1. Ongoing activities

A few valuable minerals have been discovered in the county. Opal has been mined at

Isanda near Perkera. Fluorite deposits have been cited in the basement and volcanic

rocks of Tiati Hills while carbon dioxide has been extracted from several boreholes in

the southern part of the county. In recent times, quarrying has gained prominence in

the county, especially in Tenges division where building stones, sand and ballast are

being exploited. There are also abandoned ruby mines at Sandai village near Lake

Bogoria.

1.13.2. Mining potential

The county has a potential of ruby, diatomite, manganese and fluoride mining though

the quantity of deposits is yet to be established. Exploration will need to be carried out

so as to establish the quantity of these mineral deposits. Quarrying is generally done

for building stones, ballast, sand, laterite (murram) and other building and

construction rock material. The proceeds from the sale of minerals in Baringo County

have not been quantified, as the small scale mining activities are not structured.

Tullow Oil Company has set base at the county, Block 12A, to explore oil and if it is

exploited, it will be shared between Baringo and Elgeyo-Marakwet counties.

Government-owned Geothermal Development Company has also started drilling

geothermal energy at Silale area in East Pokot Sub-County.

Baringo County also has carbon dioxide deposits at Esageri, Mogotio Sub-County.

1.14. Tourism

1.14.1. Main tourist attraction, national parks and reserves

The bubbling waters, hot springs, gushing geysers, flamingoes and ostriches are

among the major attractions in Lake Bogoria and Kapedo hot springs. Other wildlife

includes tortoises, large aquatic and terrestrial game. There is also huge potential for

private/community conservancies as well as cultural and agro-eco-tourism tourism.

Baringo County boasts of high class tourist resort centres, among them Lake Bogoria

Spa Resort and Papyrus Inn hotels. Endorois cultural dancersentertain tourists visiting

the lake.


Baringo County shall also diversify the industry and tap into conference tourism

potential by marketing the existing facilities and promoting and encouraging new

investments to complement earnings from other tourist attractions. The county

government shall put in place mechanisms for hotel rating and mobilise resources for

direct investment in suitable facilities while creating favorable climate for private

investment. This will ensure that visitors to the county, including guests of the county

government, are accommodated within the county rather than in neighboring counties

that have superior facilities. Other areas with opportunity for diversification include

education tourism and golf tourism. The county governments will, therefore, support

incentive schemes to enhance educational tourism and actualisation of golfings.

Some forests in Tugen Hills, Laikipia escarpment and Eldama Ravine have beautiful

sceneries that attract regular visitors. Examples are Ol‘Arabel, Tenges, Kipngochoch,

Kabarnet, Katimok and Saimo forests.

Apart from being good catchment areas for birds, wildlife, picnics and eco-tourism,

forests encourage soil conservation through terracing, vegetable growing and

beekeeping.

Lake Baringo has 13 islands and viewpoints that provide magnificent views of the

lake. The largest island is called Ol-kokwe, which in Ilchamus means a meeting place.

The other island is Samatian that is small but with breathtaking views across the

bronze waters of Lake Baringo.

Other interesting tourist locations in the lake are Soi Safari Lodge, Lake Baringo Club

as well as Reptile Park, which is one of the largest reptile parks in the Rift Valley.

Another one is Ruko Wildlife Conservancy that scenic attractions ranging from

wildlife to cultural villages.

Korosoi volcano, which rises 1,449m above sea level, offers an ideal spot for

watching birds such as bat hawks and majestic verreauxs eagle.Kabarnet National

Museum and Kipsaraman Community Museum are located on top of Tugen Hills. The

two museums form unique tourist sites with varied attractions and house traditional

Kalenjin artifacts, which include musical instruments, storage equipments, furniture

and ornamental decorations.At Eldama Ravine, there are the Kursalal falls, a stunning

waterfall within Lembus forests.

1.14.2. Main wildlife

Baringo County has Lake Bogoria National Game Reserve, which is 107km2.The

acacia woodlands in the national game reserve is home to many wild animals, among

them rare kudus, antelopes, zebras, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, mongoose, monkeys,

baboons and jackals. There are more than two million lesser flamingoes and 350 bird

species, especially along the shores of the Lake Bogoria.

Lake Baringo has 450 bird species such as pale and dark phase gabar goshawk,

paradise flycatcher, African fish eagles, marabou stocks, shikra and white-faced scops


owl, hemphrick‖s hornbill (along the cliffs),the African darter and occasionally the

African skimmer. Apart from birds, visitors have the opportunity to view crocodiles,

hippopotomus, the imposing Laikipia escarpment as well as the dramatic Tugen Hills.

Lake Baringo Snake Park has snake species such as the black mamba, puff adder,

boomslang and spiting cobra. Other reptiles in the park are monitor lizards,

crocodiles, tortoises and harmless stripes bellied sand snakes.

1.15. Employment and other sources of income

1.15.1. Wage earners

The Kenya National and population census statistics of 2009 show that the total

number of people who are in employment in Baringo County are 190,349 against a

population of 555,561 people. Out of the total workforce, 106,126 are male and

83,223 are female. The wage earners are expected to increase to a total of 207,651

with 115,772 males and 90,788 females.

1.15.2. Self employed

Over 58.9% of the labour force is engaged in small scale farming. This means that

most of the workers are busy during land preparation, weeding and harvesting. Those

engaged in their own farms are underemployed during the off-peak seasons. Those

employed are laid off during the off-peak periods.

1.15.3. Labour force

The labour force is generally the population in the age cohort 15-64 years. With this

age cohort, the participation rate of 92% is always assumed. This is because some

people in this age group are either sick or disabled and cannot participate in economic

production. The selection of 15-64 years should not be interpreted rigidly as there are

those above and below this age cohort who are economically active. The number of

people employed in the county is 190,349. Those seeking employment are 30,348

while the economically inactive are 210,822.


Given that pastoralism is predominant in parts of the county, especially in the arid

areas, many of those under 15 years participate in employment as herds‘ boys.

1.15.4. Unemployment levels

Out of the total labour force in the county, only 32 per cent are in employment and the

rest (68 per cent) are unemployed. The major sources of employment are: Agriculture,

rural self-employed, urban self-employed and wage employment. Wage employment

is the main source of employment in the county, generating about 34 per cent of the

total employment.

1.16. Water and sanitation

1.16.1. Water resources and quality

Being an ASAL county, Baringo has prioritised the provision of water for human,

livestock and for irrigation as a necessary requirement for the general development of

the county. Water shortage is prevalent, especially in Lake Baringo and Lake Bogoria,

parts of Kerio Valley, Mogotio, western slopes of Ng‘elecha (Mochongoi) and the

entire East Pokot (Kollowa to Tangulbei). This is caused by the low rainfall received

and cyclic droughts. This has hindere development of livestock and farming

activities, as people spend many hourse daily looking for water.

Water from Lake Baringo has not been exploited for domestic use and irrigation. The

county government shall support efforts to upscale construction of water pans and

dams in order to solve water shortage, especially during dry seasons.The county

gorverment shall promote opartners to drill boreholes to increase accessibility of clean

water in the county. The recently completed construction of Chemususu Dam in

Koibatek Sub-County is one of the long-term strategies in solving water shortage in

the county. However, it urgently requires distribution system for this purpose. Other

water development initiatives to be supported by the county government include

abstraction of water from rivers, spring protections, harvesting of rain water from roof

and other catchments.The county government shall promote and support efforts for

upstream water catchment protection.

Major rivers like Kerio, Waseges, Emsos, Perkerra and Molo together with their

tributaries could tapped for domestic use and irrigation. Other rivers that may be of

importance, though seasonal, are Amaya, Nginyang‘, Mukutani and Arabal.

1.16.2. Water supply schemes

Water supplies are managed by Rift Valley Water Services Board and the community.

The county has scarce water and most of the population relies on water from the

streams. Phase two of Kirandich Dam in Kabarnet needs to be expanded to serve

higher population as it iscurrently underutilised. The water distribution system needs

to be expanded in all parts of the county.

Thecounty government shall promote, support and encourage implementation of

projects geared towards expanding water supply coverage to communities through

own or partnership initiatives. The county government shall mobilise resources

internally and externally to finance such initiatives.

1.16.3. Water sources (distance to the nearest water points)

The sources of water in the county includedams, lake, water pans, streams, wells,

springs and boreholes. They may be piped water or point sources. Water from

vendors, especially in urban centres and small market centres, constitute a small

percentage. The average distance to the nearest water point is 5km. This is way below

the SHERE Standards on access to water. The county government shall institute

measures and policies that will favour improvement of the existing situation.

Therefore, the county government shall initiate programmes for improvement of

water access and also engage with partners to reduce distance to water points to the

acceptable standard of 30 minutes‘ walk. The Bill on Human Rights lists water as one

of the human rights. Policymakers should put in measures to increase accessibility.

1.16.4. Sanitation

Most of the population does not have access to good sanitation. Households using

bushes to relieve themselves constitute 49 per cent while 46 per cent use pit latrines.

Only five per cent of the population has access to proper sanitation.


There is no sewerage plant in all the towns and trading centres in the county. This

poses a major health and pollution hazard among the residents of Baringo. The county

government shall support and partner with relevant development agencies to promote

sensitisation towards increased latrine coverage as well as mobilising resources for

programmes geared towards Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) and promotion

of low-cost latrine construction technologies.

1.17. Education and literacy

Investing in education has a significant social rate of return. There is a positive

correlation between education and individual earnings. The better educated an

individual, the more productive he/she is not only in the market but also in the

household. Therefore, investment in education has benefits to the individual and to the

society as a whole.Baringo County experiences low gross enrolments at secondary

school level and the pastoral areas have the highest girl dropout rates.

1.17.1. Pre-school education

Pre-school education has experienced tremendous growth in the county. They are well

distributed in the five sub-counties. The number of ECD centres in Baringo North

Sub-County is 163 with 326 ECD teachers, while Koibatek Sub-County has 191 ECD

centres with 277 ECD teachers. Baringo Central Sub-County and Mogotio Sub-

County have 403 and 250 ECD centres, respectively.

To encourage enrolment, retention and transition at this level as part of DRR strategy,

the county government shall mobilise resources for construction and expansionto

increase capacities and accessofECD centres. It will enhance staffing levels and avail

requisite equipment and materials. Development partners will be encouraged to

partner and commit resources towards this end. This will include partnerships for

ECD feeding programmes, training and remuneration of ECD teachers, as well as

capital investments.

1.17.2. Special Needs Education [SNE]

The county government has put in place a number of mechanisms to ensure a good

education foundation for children with special needs. A number of programmes exist

but there is still need for teachers with specialised training in various categories of

disabilities to be employed.

The following programmes are distributed as follows in the sub-counties:

Baringo Central 3 schools

Baringo North 2 schools

East Pokot 1 schools

The county government in collaboration with NGOs, CBOs, FBOs and corporate

institutions to solicit funds to facilitate infrastructure and resources so as to realise

MDGs and Kenya Vision 2030.

1.17.3. Primary education

The county has 656 primary schools with total enrollment of 143,017 pupils. Since

the introduction of Free Primary Education, remarkable improvement in enrollment

has been observed. The county‘s performance in National Examination has greatly

improved over the years in spite of the unique challenges which the pupils undergo.


However, the retention and transition rates remain a challenge to attainment of DRR

objects. The County Government shall mainstream issues on retrogressive socio-

cultural practices and pre-occupations by mobilizing resources and partnering with

other development agencies to build, equip and staff schools. Resources shall be

committed by the county government and partners for enhance school feeding

programmes and other education incentives. The County government shall also

support integration of ICT in primary education together with partners.

1.17.4. Literacy

The literacy level of a population is one of the indicators of the population‘s potential

for socio-economic development. This is because the literacy enables those who have

received it to consume a wide body of ideas and often acts towards the fulfillment of

some of the aspirations triggered by those ideas. East Pokot has an illiteracy level of

76 per cent the highest in the county. The lowest illetaracy level is 9.1 per cent,

according to National Population and Housing Census, 2009. This gives an average of

28 per cent, which is very low.

The county government shall, together with partners, mobilise resources to support

literacy programmes. This will generally target all community members that lost out

on opportunity for formal education for reasons including FGM, early marriages and

other socio-cultural reasons as well as poor transition and incompletion of formal

education. The specific programmes should establish centres for informal

education,equip and staff them and also establish functional vocation training centres.

To motivate enrolment and retention, the county government and partners shall

provide employment opportunities for those that successfully complete life skill

trainings.

1.17.5. Secondary education

There are 125 secondary schools with a total enrolment of 27,374 students as at 2013.

Among notable challenges facing the sector include harsh climatic conditions,

especially in the lower part of the county; insecurity, which often results in closure of

some schools; poor infrastructure; floods in the low lands; prolonged draught; high

illiteracy rates among parents and retrogressive cultural beliefs. The county

government shall operationalise a bursary scheme for needy students and those

rescued from retrogressive socio-cultural practices and pre-occupations. The county

government, together with partners, shall support establishment of low-cost centres of

academic excellence within each sub-county, complete with boarding and child rescue

centres.

1.17.6. Tertiary education

There are 12 youth polytechnics, one teachers training college, one Kenya Medical

Training College (KMTC), one university campus and three commercial colleges. The

adult literacy classes‘ enrollment stands at 2,506. As part of the wider DRR effort for


county human capital development, the county government shall support the

establishment and expansion of tertiary education institutions that will benefit the

county residents in acquiring necessary skill for participation in both the local,

national and international labour markets.

1.18. Health Access and Nutrition

1.18.1. Health facilities, personnel

The health sector in the county aims at ensuring that access to basic health service is

guaranteed to the poor. The fee waiver provision and exemption in health centres

ensures that there is equitable access to health care services by the poor. There are 184

health facilities: County hospitals (1), sub-county hospitals (4), dispensaries (156),

health hentres (19), medical clinics (2) and others (2). The doctor-to-population ratio

is 1:57,381 (Baringo Central Sub-County) and 1:34,716 (Koibatek Sub-Sounty). The

infant mortality rateis 63/1000.

The county access to health facilities is poor with most of the population having to

cover long distances, above 5km, to access health facilities. With only four major

hospitals, the available bed spaces are too limited the county‘s entire population. The

county has a low doctor and nurse patient ratios, an indicator of compromised

medicare.The county government shall mobilise resources and partner with other

development agencies to establish and expand community health units. This will

enhance grass root access and referral services to host health facilities. For

sustainability, the created partnerships shall promote income generating activities

within the health facilities to earn revenue, which will be used as stipend for their

attached Community Health Workers (CHWs) among other needs.

1.18.2. Morbidity

Malaria, respiratory tract diseases, skin diseases and pneumonia are the most

prevalent diseases although there has been a marked improvement in diseases control

through effective implementation of various programmes.

1.18.3. Nutritional status

More than one in three children (34.3 per cent) in Baringo County is stunted or too

short for their age compared to 35 per cent nationally. This is a sign of chronic

malnutrition and it is most prevalent in Baringo North and Central, which are usually

more food secure. Prevalence of acute malnutrition for children of age 6-59 months

based on the child‘s weight for height in Marigat and East Pokot sub-counties is

12.2per cent, which is poor.

Child morbidity in East Pokot and Marigat (<59 months old) shows those sick with

watery diarrhea disease is18.9 per cent, bloody diarrhea and fever is 1.7per cent and

33.3 per cent respectively. Air respiratory tract infections are also common in all the


districts with Baringo North and Central at 65.9 per cent and East Pokot and Marigat

at 42.6 per cent.Key infant feeding practices, iIncluding exclusive breastfeeding

depicts Baringo Central and Marigat at 27.6 per cent and East Pokot and Marigat at

32.1 per cent.Households that normally eat three meals a day stand at 72.1 per cent

and two meals and one meal are 21per cent and 2.6 per cent respectively.

In Baringo Central and Baringo North sub-counties, the prevalence of acute

malnutrition for children under 6-59 months of age based on MUAC shows that,

severe malnutrition (less than 115 mm) is 0.6 per cent while moderate (115-<125

mm) is 3.4 and the malnourished is 4.0 per cent. Immunisation coverage in the two

sub-counties shows average of 97.2 per cent on ages 6-59 months.

The county government shall support and also mobilise partnerships towards nutrition

interventions for children below five years, expectant and lactating mothers. Other

DRR programmes to be supported will include referral services and on-job-trainings

(OJT). The county government shall also support initiatives to ensure quality and 90

per cent coverage of high impact nutrition interventions at health facility and

community level. It shall strengthen their capacity to ensure timely and accurate

reporting of high impact nutrition interventions and improve nutrition outcomes

through integration with WASH and other interventions.

1.18.4. Immunisation coverage

Immunization coverage has improved considerably with current coverage standing at

about 80 per cent. HIV/AIDS pandemic still remains a key challenge although efforts

have been stepped up to reduce the prevalence rate. The HIV pevalence rate is at 4.2

per cent against the national average of 6.2 per cent.

1.18.5. Access to family planning services/contraceptive prevalence

The number of clients to family planning services was 5,768 by 2011. However, the

family planning acceptors were only 47 per cent of those targeted. The percentage of

mothers who were using contraceptives stood at 45 per cent compared to 70 per cent

for the entire nation. The low use of modern family planning methods can be

explained by the fact that initial introduction of family planning targeted only women,

leading to the development of negative attitude of men towards family planning. The

nomadic lifestyle of some communities in the county significantly reduces the uptake

of family planning methods.

The average number of children per family in the county is five compared to the

national figure of 4.6. Injectables and pills as a means of family planning are the

most popular, followed by IUDs and female sterilisation. Few facilities offer

family planning services, especially those that provide male condom, which is a

dual protection against pregnancy and HIV/AIDS


Chapter Two

County Development Analysis

The chapter provides the linkage of the County Development Profile with the Kenya

Vision 2030, the Medium Term Plans, MDGs and the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. It

also analyses the major development challenges and cross-cutting issues that affect the

development of the county. The chapter concludes with a highlight of the issues, their

causes, the development objectives and strategies mapped to MTEF sectors and county

functions as given in schedule four of the Constitution, 2010.

2.1. National context

This County Integrated Development Plan is a requirement of the County

Governments Act, guided by the national strategic direction articulated in the Vision

2030, which is being implemented through five-year medium term plans. Vision 2030

is Kenya‘s development blue-print covering the period 2008 to 2030. It aims at

making the country a newly industrialised middle-income economy providing high

quality life for all its citizens by the year 2030. The county will coordinate its efforts

within the framework of Vision 2030 to contribute towards achieving an average

annual growth rate of 10 per cent, equitable social development where every citizen

has equal access to opportunities as well as having a result-oriented and accountable

democratic political leadership.

In line with the above, the county will put emphasis on strategies that aim at

improving the welfare of residents of the county through expanding the economic,

social and political opportunities. These strategies will improve on the already tested

best practices to fight poverty through sectors with high potential and wider impact.

2.2. The Second Medium-Term Plan (MTP2):

The Second Medium-Term Plan (MTP2), 2013-2017, is being implemented in a setting

and context, which differs significantly from that of the first MTP. The constitution of

Kenya (2010) has created a devolved structure of government at the national and

county level and specified the distribution of functions between the two levels of

government. The County government will engage the public in policy formulation so as

to seek consensus participation of the people, good governance, integrity, transparency,

accountability and sustainable development. The Public Financial Management Act,

2012, will guide the county in preparing its County Integrated Development Plans.


2.3. Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)

The County Development Profile is also linked to the eight MDGs, which aim at

improving the livelihoods of the vulnerable population. During these periods, the county

will strive to set an enabling environment for maximum contribution towards the

realisation of the MDGs:

MDG 1 - Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger. Reducing poverty from 58 per cent

to 50 per cent through the integration of various sectors in the county. This would lead to

reduction of the proportion of people whose income is less than one dollar a day. The

county also plans to achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all by

the year 2015.

MDG 2 -Achieve universal primary education: Through the free primary education,

the county will increase the literacy rate from 86.4 per cent to 95 per cent by 2015 and all

the children, boys and girls alike, will be able to complete a full course of primary

schooling. The county will also endeavour to improve transition rates from primary to

secondary education as well as to tertiary education.

MDG 3 - Promote gender equality and empower women:By eliminating gender

disparity in all levels of education. This will initiated by establishing girls‘ boarding

schools in each constituency in the county. Government women enterprise fund has

funded 316 groups in the county with a disbursement of about Sh19, 050,000 as per the

end of the year 2012. These figures are expected to rise as more groups borrow from the

kitty. The county will also implement the gender policy to ensure equitable

representation of women in development committees and in employment.

MDG 4 - Reduce child mortality:Through availability of antenatal care and

immunisation at the Kabarnet County level five hospital and sub-county hospitals in

Kabartonjo, Eldama Ravine, Marigat, Chemolingot and Mogotio, the child mortality rate

would be reduced from the current rate of 62/1000 in the county.

MDG 5 - Improve maternal health: Access to universal reproductive health for

mothers before and after birth through free distribution of mosquito nets. Antenatal and

post-natal care services have so far improved in the county. The county has a 31/1000

neonatal mortality rate and 21/1000 post-natal mortality rate. The county will gear

towards halving this figure by 2015.

MDG 6 - Combat HIV and AIDS, malaria and other diseases: Malaria, bronchitis

and pneumonia remain the most prevalent diseases. There has been a marked

improvement in disease control through effective implementation of health programmes

such as distribution of mosquito nets and free anti-malaria drugs. Trachoma is another

emerging disease common within pastoral communities. Immunisation coverage is

currently approximated at 80 per cent. HIV/AIDS pandemic still remains a key challenge

although efforts have been stepped up to reduce the prevalence rate, which stands at 4.6

per cent (2011).


MDG 7: Ensure environmental sustainability. Over 90 per cent of Baringo County is

Semi-arid and environmental resources play a critical role in supporting livelihoods and

reducing poverty. Charcoal burning, overgrazing, solid waste and destruction of water

catchment areas and wetlands are key environmental problems facing the county. The

main mitigations for environmental degradation are: Improved environmental education,

strong enforcement of legislations, community participation as well as strong institutions

at local level in the county.

MDG 8: Develop a global partnership for development. The county adopts an open,

rule-based, non-discriminatory trading from the entrepreneurs from outside the county.

In cooperation with the private sector, development partners and NGOs, the county

government shall provide access to essential goods and services such as water and

training.

2.4. Constitution of Kenya, 2010

The Constitution of Kenya, 2010, has introduced fundamental changes in the

management of public resources as well as a devolved system of governance consisting

of the National and County Governments. This entails devolving power and resources to

the county level. In this regard, the County Development Profile will provide the basic

socio-economic and infrastructural information on which the county governments will

base its development plans and budgeting. The constitution also requires that

development planning and budgeting must be all inclusive – involve all stakeholders in

the county.

2.5. Vision 2030 flagship projects affecting Baringo County

Vision 2030 is the national blueprint for development in Kenya. It is implemented

through an array of policies and programmes as well as flagship projects that are expected

to embody the transformation anticipated by Vision 2030. Several flagship projects are

expected to be implemented in Kenya, including the following:

i. Chemususu Dam: This is one of the two large dams that are anticipated under the

water sector. Construction of the dam is complete, although the distribution is still

ongoing.

ii. LAPPSET Southern Corridor: Under transport infrastructure, the government

intends to construct a standard gauge railway line from Mombasa to Malaba. The

section of the network passing through Baringo on the southern corridor has already

been constructed.

Baringo is also uniquely placed considering that 100km of the northern corridor under

the LAPPSET project is also expected to pass through the northern Baringo – making

this the only county traversed by both corridors.


iii. Kenya School of Government: Under Vision 2030, the Kenya School of

Governmenthas been established and is expected to transform the public sector. This

institution has campuses in Mombasa, Embu, Nairobi and Kabarnet, which is the

headquarters of Baringo County.

iv. Least cost power development plan: The least cost power development plan has

identified geothermal energy as the least cost source of power. The Geothermal

Development Corporation (GDC) has been establishedfor the further development of

this resource, which is abundant in Baringo County at Arus, Kapsoi, Lake Bogoria,

Silale and Korosi. Active petroleum exploration at blocks 12A and 10BB are also

ongoing within Baringo.

v. Establishment of a livestock disease free zone: Vision 2030 also intends to establish

a disease free zone, of which some parts of Baringo adjacent to Laikipia are included.

vi. Value addition through economic stimulus programme: Several projects have

been implemented under this programme, including Maoi slaughterhouse, Mogotio

Tannery and Kapkuikui honey refinery.

2.6. Regional context

Baringo is positioned at the intersection of the Western Region, the South Rift and

NorthernKenya and serves as the gateway to these regions. It is also the host of the

North Rift tourist information and operations centre.

Baringo is also the focus of various security operations associated with the arid

northern frontier involving Laikipia, Samburu, Turkana, West Pokot and Elgeyo

Marakwet. Baringo is important for peace keeping and cohesion initiatives, drought

management, disaster preparedness and climate change resilience building within the

region.

1. The Kerio Valley Development Authority (KVDA) is a regional development

organisation that coordinates development programmes in Kerio Valley.

2. Baringo occupies the northern flank of the Mau complex and most of its head waters

emanate from this tower. The Chemosusu water project is expected to provide an

inter-basin water transfer to some residents in Nakuru.

3. Kerio River forms the western border of Baringo, locally known as Turukwei basin.

This is an important water source for all the counties that depend on it, including

Turkana, West Pokot and Elgeyo Marakwet. There is a need to coordinate

conservation efforts among the affected counties.

2.7. Comparative advantages of Baringo County

These include natural resouces like distinctive geography, biodiversity,geothermal

energy endowment,water-hydro and irrigation and land.human capital like

talent,institutions,value system.economic advantage like location,population and market


size,stradding northern and southern corridors and economic activities (livestock

production)

2.8. Major development challenges

Being an ASAL area, majority of the population in the county is pastoralist, although

there are few small-scale farmers. The major challenges to development in the county

are: Poor infrastructure, limited water resources, environmental degradation, poor

marketing system and limited access to financial credit services. In addition, weak

institutional systems, poor information and communication technology,

unemployment, insecurity, retrogressive cultural practices and land tenure system are

also challenges that affect the county. The challenges are elaborated in more detail

below.

2.8.1. Poor infrastructure

The existing road network is inadequate and as a result, institutions like schools,

health facilities, designated trading centres and areas with high potential for

production of raw materials for industries are not well served. There are only 289 km

paved roads in the entire county, which is not sufficient. The highland regions of the

county like Mumberes, Eldama Ravine, Sirwa, Sacho, Tenges, Kabarnet and Torongo

have high potential for the production of maize, beans, milk, pyrethrum, horticultural

produce and mutton but the road network is poor due to the steep terrain. These areas

become impassable during the rainy season hence hindering the transportation of

goods and services to the markets.

In the lowland areas of Mogotio, East Pokot and Marigat, there are very few classified

roads. These areas have high potential in the production of livestock and livestock

products but due to transportation problems, there is limited exploitation of industrial

raw materials such as hides and skins as well as meat processing.

Resources towards construction of tarmac roads in the county and opening of new

roads should be increased so as to ease transportation problems. In addition, dormant

airstrips in the county will need to be rehabilitated for use in tourism and other

activities aimed at fostering development.

2.8.2. Limited water resources

Water-related challenges in the county are not limited to water supply and sanitation

services.

Scarcity: Baringo County is classified among the most water scarce counties in the

country. The county is also plagued by chronic cycles of flooding and drought that are

increasing in frequency and severity.

The situation is exacerbated by negative effects of climate change, as well as high

population growth, significant upland watershed destruction and non-equitable


distribution of water resources. The government has recently taken steps to protect

upland watersheds.

The most affected are the arid and semi-arid areas especially Marigat, East Pokot,

Mogotio and Baringo North sub-counties, which experience frequent shortages of

water for human and livestock consumption. This is caused by the low rainfall

received and prolonged cyclic droughts. This has hindered development of livestock

and farming activities and a lot of time is wasted looking for water instead of citizens

being engaged in productive activities.

Water from Lake Bogoria and Lake Baringo has not been exploited for domestic and

irrigation purposes due to its high salinity. This also affects the ground water in the

surrounding areas.

Because of the unique terrain in Baringo County and the pattern of settlement in

highland areas, which often are upstream of the reliable perennial sources of water,

the water supply schemes struggle with high energy costs for pumping water. The

lack of distribution systems is also a major challenge in the county.

2.8.3. Environmental degradation

Environmental degradation in the county is caused by overgrazing, indiscriminate

cutting of trees for fuel, non-protection of water catchment areas and poor farming

practices. The topography of the county accelerates soil erosion, as it is hilly in most

places. When it rains, most of the soils are swept into Lake Baringo which

exacerbates the problem of silting in the water storage facilities and the dams.

Most farmers seem to be unaware of the importance of environmental conservation,

and hardly take conservation measures seriously. Some of the land is not adjudicated

and this encourages shifting cultivation, with serious consequences on the

environment. Environmental pollution could also become a problem if not checked.

Measures will be taken to sensitise farmers and other residents on the importance of

conserving the environment.

2.8.4. Poor marketing system and limited access to financial credit services

Market outlets for crops, livestock and livestock products in the county are not well

established. For cash crops, poor marketing is occasioned by the weak cooperative

societies in the county. Lack of ready markets and market information for output,

inadequate storage facilities and transportation problems all work against the

development of agricultural, livestock and industrial sectors. On livestock production,

marketing is hampered by inadequate auction and holding grounds, especially in areas

where livestock farming is a major economic activity.


Marketing of milk is hampered by inadequate collection centres and milk coolers as

well as poor roads. There are only a few financial lending institutions in the county,

with Mogotio, East Pokot and Baringo North sub-counties without commercial banks.

Lack of organised markets, poor marketing skills and poor transport system has

hindered business growth in the county.

2.8.5. Weak institutional systems

The performance of most organizations, especially government departments is

affected by inadequate funds, allocations not based on work plans, insufficient

working facilities like vehicles, weak information systems and inadequate staff.

Monitoring and evaluation activities are not well facilitated in the county, which

hinders proper tracking and impact assessment of projects and programmes.There is

need for fast-tracking of the rollout of the National Integrated Monitoring and

Evaluation System (NIMES) to facilitate this process.

Projects and programmes, especially those under the public sector are affected by the

lengthy procurement procedures as well as delays in release of funds. This leads to

escalation of costs, delays in completion and sometimes accumulation of pending

bills, which discourage contractors.

2.8.6. Information and communication technology

The information and communication technology penetration in the county is quite low

at approximately 45 per cent. As at 2012, the county was yet to be connected to the

national communication fibre-optic cable spearheaded by the directorate of e-

government.

The mobile phone coverage in the county is low. Most schools and institutions are not

covered by any service providers in terms of mobile telephony or internet services.

2.8.7. Unemployment

There is a high level of unemployment in the county, especially among the youth.

There is, therefore, need for sustained efforts to create employment opportunities. The

Vision 2030 has employment creation at the core of the social pillar, especially in

relation to poverty reduction. Efforts are being made to create jobs by attracting

investors particularly in horticultural farming and eco-tourism.

2.8.8. Insecurity

Insecurity is another major impediment to development. The county is prone to

frequent cattle rustling between communities within the county and also with those

from neighbouring counties of Samburu and Turkana. This is caused by cultural and

economic factors. Community conflicts over pasture and watering points are also

common during dry periods. Insecurity has completely paralysed farming activities in


the affected areas. In addition, most of upcoming market centres and schools located

around the areas prone to attacks do not develop due to desertion.

The major intervention to address insecurity will be strengthening of community

peace committees to conduct peace building initiatives and conflict resolution both

within the county and across the borders. Other measures will include strengthening

community policing, providing additional police reservists, improving the capacity of

anti-stock theft, setting up more police posts and improving communication

infrastructure for rapid response by the security agencies.

2.8.9. Retrogressive cultural practices

These practices include, Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), early marriages,

moranism and cattle rustling. FGM is practiced by some communities and there has

been resistance to change despite concerted efforts by government and other

development partners. Girls undergoing FGM are in most cases married off early thus

denying them an opportunity to attend school.

Moranism is practiced by some communities in Baringo. Under this practice, young

boys are taken for training for some period of time in keeping with the tradition. This

denies them time to attend formal education. Cattle rustling activities are normally

executed by morans thereby linking it to insecurity.

2.8.10. Land tenure system

Land ownership tends to be communal, particularly in the semi-arid parts of the

county. This means that most families do not have title deeds to the land they occupy,

which further means that development of the land is hampered. For example, farmers

with no title deeds cannot use land as collateral to secure loans from financial

institutions. Efforts will be put in place to ensure adjudication of the land so as to

issue title deeds to the owners

2.9. Cross cutting issues

This section represents the cross-cutting issues that might affect development of

county and how to address them. A SWOT analysis has also been done for each of the

cross-cutting issues.

2.9.1. Poverty

The main causes of poverty in the county include inadequate and unreliable rainfall

leading to crop failure and drought, especially in the lowlands of the county; lack of

employment opportunities; inadequate extension services; low prices or lack of

organised markets for agricultural produce; high cost of agricultural inputs; poor

infrastructure, especially the road network due to poor terrain; low transition rates in

both primary and secondary schools, inaccessibility to credit facilities by farmers for

investments in agriculture and low yields from livestock and livestock produce.


There is need to put in place strategies necessary to reduce poverty in the county,

which include: Water harvesting and the development of irrigation projects, improved

access to credit facilities, improvement in the road network, value addition to farm

produce, use of AI services and reduction in cost of farm inputs.

The effect of poverty on agriculture and livestock production is very significant as

farmers are unable to purchase inputs for crops and livestock production. This has

contributed to low productivity, late land cultivation and loss of produce due to poor

crop husbandry, animal disease control and persistence drought. The county has

experienced increased poverty levels over the years. The 2009 Welfare Monitoring

Survey (WMS) estimated that 35 per cent of the population in the county lived below

the food poverty line. The people in the county most affected by poverty are the

pastoralists, small scale farmers, female headed households, people with disabilities,

the landless and children-headed household.

Environmental degradation

Climatic shocks affecting agricultural production

High population growth

HIV and AIDS pandemic

Globalisation and influx of cheap goods that threaten

local industries

2.9.2. Gender Inequality

Majority of the illiterate in the county is the adult population, especially women. This means

the quality of their participation in development activities is lower than that of men. In order

to reverse this trend and create balance in participation of men and women in the

development of the county, emphasis will be put on the education of the girl child. At the

same time, functional adult literacy activities will be stepped up in order to improve the

literacy of women who are the majority in the adult classes. The participation of women in


the cooperative sector in the county is still poor. In order to increase their

participation,cooperative societies should encourage including certain percentage for women

in the management positions.

At the same time, social services will continue to register women organisations and

encourage them to gain access to credit facilities that can enable them under take activities

that help to reduce poverty.

The county recognises the importance of active participation of women in water development

activities. The water department alongside other water bodies has endeavored to involve

women in the implementation, management, operation, and maintenance of water projects.

In order to create a gender balance in the participation of men and women in business

management, micro-finance institutions will be encouraged to focus attention on training

women on basic business skills and providing them with credit facilities in order to improve

their businesses, which will boost the income levels of widows and female headed

households.

The cultural and traditional practices and barriers have contributed significantly to gender

imbalances in the county. These include gender inequality in ownership of land and livestock,

and control over the use of income, especially in the non-working class of women.

All the stakeholders in the development process will work together to ensure gender

mainstreaming in major projects and programmes as well as addressing gender disparities in

access to education.

The stakeholders in the county will address gender disparity issues by implementing the

national government policy on 30 per cent representation of women in major decision making

organs.

Retrogressive cultural practices strongly bound to

communities beliefs

Collapse of enterprises

Drug and substance abuse and HIV/AIDS

2.9.3. High population growth rate

The county population projection is based on a growth rate of 2.9 per cent per year. This

rapid population growth will continue to have negative effects in all sectors of development if

not checked. For example, there will be increased demand for infrastructural service such as

telephone and electricity, the demand for clean water will increase and proper sanitation may

continue to worsen. High population growth has also worsened the unemployment problem

as well as encroachment of water catchment areas. There is also pressure on land since it is

static among the variables as the population increases.

This calls for the implementation of the population policy in order to reduce the growth rate

as well as the number of children per woman. Family planning will be promoted through

provision of contraceptives.

Table 19: SWOT analysis of Baringo with respect to population growth

Opportunities

New policy on population

Good will of the donor community and government

to finance family planning services

Threats

Unfavourable cultural practices that impede family

planning campaigns

High levels of poverty

Pastoralist lifestyle, which makes difficult to reach

all the target groups for sensitisation


2.9.4. Disaster management

Drought conditions occur frequently in the county causing livestock deaths and loss of farm

produce. This is due to low rainfall pattern. Other major disasters include, floods, natural

resource-based conflicts, animal disease outbreaks, plant diseases in irrigated lands, cattle

rustling, boundary disputes/land disputes, land slides and deforestation. Baringo is also

affected by slow onset disasters such as HIV and AIDS.

To combat the effects of drought, more resources are to be diverted to save lives of both

humans and livestock through the provision of water, relief food, disease control, provision of

human health services and food supplements. A long-term solution to curb this problem is to

improve irrigation in the dry areas. A classical example is the Perkerra irrigation scheme,

which has resulted in improved yields of the farmers in the area, especially production of

horticultural products.

The tourism sector is also affected by drought because this is when a lot of wildlife migration

in search of food and water takes place. At the same time, human-wildlife conflicts and

poaching incidences increase drastically due to competition for water at the few perennial

water sources.

Government offices, including local authorities, are at risk of being gutted by fire because

they lack essential firefighting equipment. In order to avert or minimise occurrence of such

disaster, efforts will be made by the county to capacitate both the government offices and the

public on measures of minimising, handling and controlling disasters.

2.9.5. Environmental and climate change

Environmental degradation is widespread in most parts of the county. Some areas are lined

up with deep gullies and without any vegetation cover, rendering these areas unfit for

development activities and thus reducing the county‘s production potential. Settlement in

fragile ecosystems also affect these areas adversely in the long run, thus reducing agriculture

and livestock output and consequently household incomes. The incidence of human-wildlife

conflict has also increased as well as interference in wildlife migratory routes.


Use of plastic packing has resulted into major heaps of plastic scattered all over the towns or

urban areas, posing a major environmental hazard in the county.

Oil pollution from garages and petrol stations is another environmental challenge. Polution as

a result of burning sawdust and waste timber is another challenge. None of the urban centres

has a sewerage treatment system or formal garbage disposal site.

Effects of climate change include warming, frequent drought, effects on pastoralists and on

bee keeping – destruction of bees, which affects pollination.

2.9.6. County diversity – Minority groups and regional balance

The county is predominantly occupied by the Tugen while the Pokot occupy a small area.

There are, however, minorities like the Endorois, Turkana,Kikuyu, Nubians and Ilchamus

living around Lake Baringo. This poses a danger of excluding the minorities in decision

making in the county as the majority are likely to always have their say. Incidences of clashes

over pasture, water and cultural practices that do not promote county cohesion are frequent.

Cross sub-county projects have been encouraged such as Tororolokwonin Primary Boarding

School in Baringo North Sub County. Itis funded by Ministry of State for the Development of


Northern Kenya and other Arid Lands. Peace building by both the Government agencies and

CBOs is ongoing in the county.

2.9.7. Youth

The youth form over 50 per cent of the total population of the county. This group is faced

with a higher risk of contracting HIV/AIDS due to peer pressure, negative attitude to upright

morals, high levels of unemployment and drug abuse. Other factors affecting them include

lack of entrepreneur skills, unplanned pregnancies and early initiation to commercial sex as a

source of living in the urban and trading centres.

The Constituency Youth Enterprise Fund and revamping of the youth polytechnics and rural

resources centres has enhanced their participation in the development process. However, lack

of entrepreneur skills and business culture remains a challenge.

2.9.8. Persons with Disabilities (PWDs

Although disability is not inability, most people with disability in the county are

discriminated against in terms of access to income earning opportunities. The data of people

with disabilities is as follows: Visual impairment - 4,392, hearing – 3,291, speech – 1,354

and physical/selfcare - 5,475, mental - 1523 and other forms of disability - 1085. There is

need for affirmative action on issues of the persons with disabilities. The use of national fund

for the disabled should be streamlined so that it can benefit the PWDs to establish income

generating enterprises.

The constitution gives the PWDs the opportunity to fully participate in development hence an

opportunity to articulate their issues. The national government has also formulated disability

policies and strategies. Therefore, the county will ensure there is compliance with the

national policy. The community needs to also be sensitised to eliminate stigmatisation and to

support the group.

2.9.9. HIV and AIDS

HIV and AIDS is a national disaster in the country and Baringo County is no exception. The

disease has had a major socio-economic impact in the county. The county prevalence is at 4.3

per cent compared to the national level of 6.4 per cent. Most of the households in the county

have either been infected or affected by the disaster.

The impact of the scourge has been wide-ranging and includes an increase in dependency

levels, especially vulnerable children (OVCs), rising levels of poverty and food insecurity,

reduction in savings and investments in the economy due to increased expenditure on medical

care, high mortality rates across key sectors, loss in productivity of human capital and social

stigma towards the infected.

The effort to deal with HIV and AIDS in this county will focus on how to manage the

pandemic given that there is no cure; how to contain the spread of HIV, especially among the

youth and how to address the HIVand AIDS stigma. Discouraging multiple sexual partners

(as in polygamy and prostitution),managingthe problem of widows, widowers and orphans

and providing for the affected and the infected as well as ensuring access to antiretroviral

drugs.

The increasing number of OVCs in the county, currently estimated at over 14,000, is a big

challenge.They are in need of special care, including provision of food, housing and medical

care. In addition to the above, there is still the problem of stigmatisation of PLWAS, which

prevents many people from going for voluntary counseling and testing.

To deal with the problem of HIV and AIDS, several initiatives have been put in place,

including prevention of mother to child transmission, provision of antiretroviral drugs,

establishment of functional VCT centres, treatment of STI and STDS, blood safety and

condom distribution among others. There are also community awareness programmes aimed

at de-stigmatisation of PLWAS and behaviour change communication.

2.9.10. Information communication technology

The county has not fully benefitted from Information Communication Technology (ICT) as

the requisite infrastructure has not been put in place. Majority of the county‘s residents have

not embraced ICT apart from youth closer to urban centres and frequently use cyber cafes.

There is also lack of electricity mostly in rural areas. This has aggravated further the issue of

digital divide between the urban and rural population in the county. However, the increasing

mobile phone penetration has ameliorated the problem because some can access internet

through their mobile phones. Most public offices, learning institutions and health facilities in

the county are yet to be fully connected and, therefore, there is need to ensure that the fibre-

optic cabling reaches the county and all sub-county headquarters. In addition, there are public

information and documentation libraries/centres where the residents can access publications.

Chapter Three

Development Strategy

This chapter develops the strategy that will be used in meeting the challenges identified

in order to realise the aspirations of the people of Baringo over the first CIDP period. It

looks at both what needs to be done and the means that will be used to attain them.

3.1. What does it mean to be developed?

The classic definition of development or ‗maendeleo‘ in local parlance is infrastructure –

roads, water, schools, hospitals and electricity. This document anticipates a broader

definication to include such sustainability concepts like:

1. Social:Security, employment, better standards of life, freedom, gender and

participation in governance and value systems.

2. Economic: Wealth creation, value capture and the equitable distribution of

wealth.

3. Environmental: Quality of the environment and its preservation for future

generations.

Poverty and unemployment are a recurrent issues in the county. Poverty must be understood

to mean, not the lack of resources, but the inability to utilize these resources in meaningful

ways. The development of the county should start from the utilization of resources already

available: The county cannot depend on resources it does not command to solve the problems

it faces. The county government will carry out a comprehensive assessment of the human,

physical, entrepreneurial resource endowment in and determine how to harness the resources

for the development of the county and the wellbeing of its people.

One of the central assumptions of Vision 2030 is that jobs will be created by higher economic

growth. It is clear that, economic growth, without equitable distribution will not result in

significant change in the circumstances of the people. This document is cogniscant that it is

more difficult to lift people out of poverty by redistributing the wealth of the rich. It is

necessary to create new wealth for the people.

The most straight forward way to create wealth and jobs is through the promotion of

competitive business and the pursuit of higher productivity.True jobs are created by

competitive, profitable firms. There is a close correlation between job security and labour

productivity - employees who create more wealth for their employers tend to be more

employable. Accordingly, regional competitiveness and labour productivity should be put at

the core of the proposed policy. The county government will thus formulate and pursue

policies that promote creation of competitive, profitable firms.


3.2. The wealth creation pattern

Figure 7 below illustrates our prosperous cycle, a potential answer to the vicious cycle that

persists in county at the moment.

Figure 17: A prosperous pattern for wealth creation in Baringo

It starts with the identification ofstrategic economic sectors and executing activities that

can improve production in those sectors. This must be done simultaneously with

activities that result in the acquisition of markets for the products. This must quickly be

followed by activities that improve productivity and repeated many times . Figure 18

highlights the key enablers for Baringo‘s economy

Figure 18: Key Enablers for the Economy of Baringo


3.3. Importance of adopting a strategic approach

The full potential of Baringo in terms of its people, landscape, natural resources, towns,

villages and rural areas and sustainable patterns of development can best be realised by

adopting a strategic focus to further the growth and development needs of the county.

This is because the available resources are not adequate and there is need for trade-offs.

Baringo needs to identify valuable positions, and commit to their pursuit and preserve the

advantages that come from commanding these positions. The following are some of the

advantageous positions that Baringo County shall pursue:

a) Strategic Specialization and Economic Cluster driven Development

Some sectors such as livestock and tourism are very important for Baringo. To realise the

full benefits for development activities, it is important to ensure the firms in these sectors

work closely through clusters. The County Government of Baringo shall promote the

specialisation of regions in certain economic clusters and control the zoning and

development in those sectors for the realisation of growth and a fair and equitable

distribution of development within the county.

b) Delinking the economy from rainfall patterns

The growth of the economy of the county is strongly correlated to rainfall patterns.

Achieving a position where agricultural production is not determined by rainfall patterns

will provide significant advantage in growing the economy of the county. Water

harvesting, irrigation, value addition, reduction of post-harvest losses are some of the

activities that can help bring this delinking. Because of its strategic location, the county

government shall support farmers to also diversify away from agricultural production

into high value, specialised, capital and knowledge intensive sectors such as agro-

services e.g. warehousing, resilient seed production, farm inputs, marketing and regional

branding to protect against the vagaries of nature.

c) Excellence in Governance, Policy Making and Execution

Many of the problems facing the county can be resolved through the enforcement of

existing policies, especially regarding integrity, governance, land ownership, land use,

and environmental protection. The county government shall investits in the

implementation of its policies and transparency. The county government shall also

develop innovative policies that favourably differentiate the county from other parts of

the country. It is also important that a progressive value system is not just upheld by

public officers but by everyone in the county – including farmers, entrepreneurs and

children.

d) Prudent Expenditure

The county government shall commit to a prudent use of the resources under their

custody. This shall call for excellence in procurement and strong oversight and

monitoring to ensure proper utilisation of funds. In particular, the county and national


governments will utilise ICT for a cost effective and efficient delivery of its services

according to the ICT framework of this document.

e) Decommodification of county products through differentiation and upgrading of

firms using standards

The county government shall assist local firms and farmers to develop products that do

not compete on price, but rather on the additional unique value propositions that they

bring in the market. This will help increase the wealth generated in the county and

reduce the wastage of the county‘s resources. These firms shall also receive assistance on

compliance to standards to ensure they increase access to the market place and are not

locked out through non-tariff barriers.

f) Linkage through transport and communications

The government shall invest in transport and facilitate investment in communications to

ensure that every part of the county is within four hours of an urban area with a

population of 15,000 people or more. The county government shall also promote direct

transportation linkages with second tier towns (without direct linkage with Baringo) such

as Bungoma, Kitale, Narok and Nyeri to enable access to markets and to attract

investment from them.

g) Strategic human capital development

Baringo will invest its resources wisely for the development of its human capital base.

This will call for an appropriate mix of investments in basic and higher education,

scholarships, investment in technical skills, adult literacy and continuous professional

development and the extension services. In all cases, the investments will be indexed

against the needs in the local marketplace.

h) Proactivity and prevention

Baringo will prioritise preventive and proactive investments over reactive investments to

reduce the human and resource cost. In particular, the government shall invest in prudent

environmental management and investment in creating awareness to minimise risks and

costs associated with disasters.


3.4. Overall objectives

The overall objective of this plan is to attain the development vision of the couty in regard to

the aspirations set out in the Bill of Rights under the constitution of Kenya and with particular

consideration for key issues identified during the consultation phase and review of the plan.

Under the Bill of Rights, the Constitution accords the citizens of Baringo the following social

and economic rights:

Table 35: Economic and Social rights under the Constitution of Kenya

Economic and social rights under the Constitution of Kenya

a) To the highest attainable standard of health, which includes the right to health

care services, including reproductive health care

b) To accessible and adequate housing and to reasonable standards of sanitation

c) To be free from hunger and to have adequate food of acceptable quality

d) To clean and safe water in adequate quantities

e) To social security

f) To education

The overall objectives of the County Integrated Development Plan are:

ii. To promote growth in the county by facilitating economic, social and cultural

development throughout the county with due regard to the role of both urban and rural

areas in the overall strategic development of the county.

iii. To define a strong sub-regional role for Baringo as a counter balance to the other

major urban areas of the North Rift and the Mid-Rift region.

iv. To strengthen and enhance the county‘s urban structure and promote sustainable

vibrant rural communities.

v. To promote the future growth and development needs of the county in a sustainable

manner and to ensure that the benefits of economic growth and prosperity are spread

to all parts of the county.

vi. To improve the quality of life and social well-being of all those living, working and

visiting Baringo by ensuring high quality and sustainable residential, recreational,

travel and working environments.

vii. To improve the economic competitiveness of Baringo and topromote and facilitate the

provision of a sound infrastructurebase throughout the county.

viii. To protect, conserve and manage in a prudent and sustainablemanner the

county‘s outstanding natural, heritage andcultural resources and to seek the

enhancement of these resources where appropriate and feasible.


These objectives are not intended to be an end state but rather a general direction as to how

the county can develop, and they will be constanly reviewed. In moving the overall objectives

forward, it is necessary to define some general development aims, in line with the concept of

sustainable development and attainment of the requirements of the Bill of Rights. The

development aims are identified broadly as social, economic and environmental.

3.5. Social development goals

ii. To improve the quality of life of the people of Baringo by ensuring they have access

to basic needs of food, clothing, health, shelter, clean water, education and household

energy.

iii. To develop, social, cultural and community facilities inappropriate locations

accessible to allmembers of the community, with the long-term effect ofsustaining

and enriching the quality of life of residemts.

iv. To ensure that as far as the available resources permit,every family in the county can

obtain a dwelling of a goodstandard located in an acceptable environment, at a price

or rent that is affordable and in a manner that is in accordancewith the principles of

sustainable development.

v. To develop a system of county values that is conducive for the development of the

county in accordance with Chapter Six of the Constitution of Kenya.

3.6. Economic development goals

1. To provide access to water, land, knowhow and collective organisation necessary to

improve economic production, productivity, access to credit and market access for

agricultural output from Baringo.

2. To provide a framework for attracting and retaining investment in Baringo County

while addressing the problems of brain drain, capital flight and perennial

underinvestment.

3. To position Baringo as an attractive place to start and grow world class companies.

4. To promote balanced and sustainable development of all sections of the Baringo

economyand optimise the contribution of the county‘s natural resources while

ensuring that there is adequate infrastructure.

5. To ensure the county‘s natural resources are managed anddeveloped in a sustainable

manner that will ensure they canbe enjoyed by future generations.

6. To ensure sustainable balance between the development andenvironmental

conservation.


3.7. Environmental goals

1. To ensure the conservation and responsible guardianship of Baringo‘s natural and

built heritage for future generations whilst optimising its potential role in sustaining

local communitiesand the overall socio-economic development of the county.

2. To ensure that the resource that is in Baringo‘s biodiversity and water catchment are

conserved and utilised prudently and sustainablyin a manner that will ensure that the

landscape canbe handed on to future generations without being severely degraded.

3. To improve the quality of the built environment in towns andvillages, so that they

develop as attractive viable options forthe attraction of future growth and

development.

4. To maintain and enhance the quality of those physicalelements such as air, water and

soil, that contributes to theenvironment and ensure that homes, towns, rivers and

villages in Baringo are clean at all times.

3.8. Transport and infrastructure goals

1. To develop a high quality, sustainable and integratedtransportation system embracing

the road, rail, air and water transport sectors, with an emphasis on sustainability and

cost effectiveness.

2. To integrate and develop the transportation assets within thecounty, including the

strategic corridors between the northern and southern corridors (both road and rail)

into any regionalplanning strategy.

3. To develop a high quality telecommunications infrastructurethroughout the county as

one means of realising anddeveloping the social and economic potential, particularly

ofthe smaller towns and rural areas.

4. To ensure that the energy supply and distribution throughout the county is expanded

and upgraded sufficiently to enable the economy, enterprise and other developments

to locate in the county.

5. To optimise the development of appropriate renewable energysources which make use

of the natural resource endowment of Baringo County, including hydropower,

geothermal and bioenergy, in an environmentally acceptable and sustainable manner.

6. To develop an environmentally sustainable water supply andsewerage infrastructure

to facilitate economic and socialdevelopment, particularly of the smaller towns and

ruralareas.

All of these goals that make up the overall objectives anddevelopment goals have a spatial

dimension to them in terms of locationand scale of development. In order to guide and direct

them, a spatial framework has been developed to allow the overall strategy to betranslated

into various detailed development targets.

Chapter Four

County Spatial Planning Framework 4.1. Introduction

This chapter presents a spatial framework for Baringo County, from which the 10-year

spatial plan will be developed as per the requirements of the County Government Act

(section 110(1). The development of the spatial plan should be given immediate priority as it

is the basis of all economic and industrial development in the county. Baringo County will

thus develop these plans immediately after the CIDP is adopted.

Spatial planning is an activity centered on making decisions relating to the location and

distribution of land use activities.It refers to the methods used by the public sector to

influence the distribution of people and activities in spaces of various scales. Discrete

professional disciplines that involve spatial planning include land use, urban

planning,regional planning, transport and environmental planning. Other related areas

are economic and community planning. Spatial planning takes place on local, regional,

national and inter-national levels and often result in the creation of a spatial plan.

Regional/spatial planning gives geographical expression to the economic, social, cultural

and ecological policies of society. It is at the same time a scientific discipline, an

administrative technique and a policy developed as an interdisciplinary and

comprehensive approach directed towards a balanced regional development and the

physical organisation of space according to an overall strategy.

Spatial planning brings together and integrates policies for the development and use of

land with other policies and programmes that influence the nature of places and how they

function.

Spatial planning system/process is mandated to ensure that it:

Conserves and enhances the natural environment through the wise use of natural

resources

Mitigates and adapts to the impacts of climate change

Provides the highest levels of protection for Baringo‘s protected habitats, sites,

species and landscapes

Is based on robust environmental evidence and a thorough understanding of

environmental capacity and the cumulative impacts of development

Delivers substantial benefits for the natural environment and people together.

This should include enhancement of biodiversity and landscape, opportunities to

access and enjoy the natural environment and the provision of multi-functional

green infrastructure.

Spatial planning is about anticipating long-term change (and the pressures and

opportunities that emerge from it) and articulating a logical and flexible development

path for a more sustainable and equitable future. The spatial development framework

and associated urban plans achieve this by establishing guidelines about how Baringo

should grow. These spatial plans guide new investment, give effect to the principles and

priorities of the town‘s development strategies, and identify priority areas for strategic

intervention.

With these countywide and urban plans completed and approved, the focus of the

county‘s planning efforts has shifted to the preparation and design of detailed local area

plans and urban esign frameworks.

4.1.1. Role of spatial planning

1. To create the conditions for an enhanced quality of life.

2. To fulfil the aims of efficiency and democracy through public participation.

3. To meet the challenge of sustainable development.

4.1.2. Objectives of spatial planning

One of the main objectives of spatial planning is to ensure that the utilisation of land

resources is planned and implemented in an organised manner to meet the needs of

present and future generations.

4.1.3. Approach required

Spatial planning requires an integrative and comprehensive planning approach in

order to rationalise the appropriate land use activities.

4.1.4. Rationale for spatial planning

1. Baringo‘s urban environment is decaying at a rapid pace hence the need to

establish a county planning framework to accommodate new development and

growth of existing development nodes.

2. To promote and foster development along the principles of the five Ssi.e. Synergy,

Sustainability, Sensibility, Strategic and Supportive.

3. To ensure sustainable utilisation of county land resources.

4.2. The Baringo Spatial Planning framework

Baringo County is constantly changing and growing. To ensure that the county remains a

quality place to live work and invest, as well as to visit, it needs a plan to guide this

future growth and change in the best possible way. This plan is known as the Baringo

County Spatial Development Framework (BCSDF).

https://www.capetown.gov.za/en/Planningportal/Pages/SpatialDevelopmentFramework.aspx

https://www.capetown.gov.za/en/Planningportal/Pages/SpatialDevelopmentFramework.aspx

https://www.capetown.gov.za/en/Planningportal/Pages/DistrictPlans.aspx

https://www.capetown.gov.za/en/Planningportal/Pages/Localplansanddesign.aspx

https://www.capetown.gov.za/en/Planningportal/Pages/Localplansanddesign.aspx

http://www.capetown.gov.za/en/sdf/Documents/SDF_Technical_Report_2012_Interactive.pdf


The plans and policies of the BCSDF:

1. Align the county‘s spatial development goals, strategies and policies with those

of the national spheres of government;

2. Indicate areas best suited to urban development, the areas that should be

protected, and the areas where development may occur if it is sensitively

managed;

3. Indicate the desired phasing/zoning of urban development;

4. Guide changes in land-use rights;

5. Help spatially guide, coordinate, prioritise and align public investment

infrastructure and social facilities in the county‘s five-year integrated

development plan.

The SDF does not give or take away zoning rights. The BCSDF will be reviewed and

updated at least every 10 years and the integrated development plan will be reviewed every

year.

4.3. Urbanisation in Baringo County

According to the 2009 Population and Housing Census, Baringo County has over 50

planned centres, three of which qualify as urban areas on population basis. The three

urban areas are Kabarnet, Eldama Ravine and Marigat.

Urban Areas and Cities Act No 13 of 2011 provides for modalities of classifying urban

areas into either cities, municipalities and towns. Some of the centres do not qualify for

any status, particularly like Marigat, which is just at the edge of becoming a town because

of its population. It is for this reason that Sections 8(2) and 10 are to be explored so as to

streamline classification, governance and management of urban areas in the county.

Kabarnet shall, however, play her central role as the county headquarters while Marigat,

Eldama Ravine, Mogotio and Chemolingot shall serve as sub-county headquarters. The

headquarters of the sub-counties and wards shall play the role of cascading development

to the lower levels. Urban areas and trading centres shall continue to play a central role in

commerce and industry, hence planning and implementation of plans is vital. Focus shall

be given to the county, sub-county headquarters and major centres.

4.4. The service centre policy

The number and level of towns are defined by population, the level of social and physical

infrastructure and industrial establishment/developments. Human settlements

aredesignated service and growth centres to improve the quality of life in rural areas and

to complement and stimulate integrated rural development alongside the major growth

centres (Nairobi and Mombasa).

The national government shall define a service centre policy, which will help in guiding

development of different categories of service centres in order of importance. The

classification below is intended to provide a guideline for this activity, designated urban

centres, rural centres, market centres, and local centres.


The functional description of each type of planned human settlement is given as below:

4.4.1. Designated local centres

These centres shall offer the lowest level of service and are intended to serve the

needs of the people within a walking distance. They are designated to serve a

catchment area of up to 5,000 people.

Each such centre shall have a full primary school, several shops, a dispensary, a

public water supply and an open air market. The county corporate communications

team shall maintain a public, official notice board through which information is

disseminated to foster public participation in government activities at all levels. The

centres should be served by a minor road.

Examples of centres that are designated as local centresinclude Koriema, Ossen,

Kiboino, Maoi and Kampi ya Samaki among others. Although most of the centres in

this category have been planned, the plans have not been approved. The plans can,

however, still be used to guide development.

4.4.2. Designated market centres

These centres shall have a residential population of up to 2,000 but are designated to

serve up to 15,000 people in the hinter land.They shall have a primary school, a day

secondary school and a health centre. They shall also be served with a public water

supply, electricity, public transportation, postal (courier) services, mobile money

facilities, a police post and a local bus station (with an airstrip in the remote areas) as

well as other social, commercial and administrative facilities.

Some of the urban areas designated as market centres include: Kabartojo, Mogotio,

Barwessa and Loboi among others.

4.4.3. Designated rural centre

The centresare intended to serve up to 40,000 people and expected to have a

residential population of between 2,000 to 10,000 inhabitants. They are important for

the development of the rural economy and provision of standard amenities.

These centres should have a senior high school, a health centre with maternity facility,

shopping facilities and big markets. These centres should be given priority during the

development of secondary and minimum roads. They should have a piped water

supply, electricity and a sewage disposal system, telephone services, full postal

facilities and banking facilities.

These centres should be served with basic infrastructure to enable them fulfil their

roles as service centres for the rural economy and to encourage the development of

rural industries.

In Baringo, these centres-- Chemolingot, Kolowa and Loruk -- have been planned

though none of the plans have been approved. They still lack the industries and

sewage systems that had been envisaged. The roads connecting all these towns are


under construction. These centres, however, have the necessary minimum social and

physical infrastructure.

4.4.4. Designated urban centres

This is the highest category of planned service centres. The urban towns within this

category are expected to provide services to a residential population with a population

of over 5,000. These services include a treated water supply, piped sewage system and

disposal plant. These towns should also be serviced with additional infrastructure such

as internal and external roads.The catchment population ranges between 100,000 to

150,000 people.

Thesetownsshall have a fully-equipped hospital, secondary schools, technical colleges

and other higher levels institutions. These centres shall be designed to be focal points

of commercial, industrial, administrative and social services. They are to serve the

present and future needs of the population and the national economy. They shall also

serve as reception centres for rural populations seeking employment and social

benefits.

It should be noted that the county government departments responsible for the

location of physical infrastructure as well as private developers shall ensure that the

facilities are developed strictly as planned.

Kabarnet and Eldama Ravine towns fall within this highest category of planned

service centres. Eldama Ravine has grown from the small centre of less than 2,000

people in the 1970s to approximately 45,000people while Kabarnet has grown from a

small centre of around 2,000 people in the 1970s to around 27,000 people (as per the

population census of 2009). These towns are well served with social infrastructure –

schools, colleges, university colleges, referral and county health facilities although the

enforcement of the spatial plan is weak.

The development of productive activities in the rural areas near these towns shall

continue to provide employment opportunities to people in the towns.

The towns have local physical development plans, which act as a framework to guide

development.

Despite the designation and the consequent preparation of local physical development

plans for these centres, many challenges have hindered the realisation of their

importance. These include:

1. Rapid urbanization: Unplanned human settlement caused by lack of

implementation of prepared plans, urban sprawl and development of

unplanned settlements.

2. High population growth rate versus low economic growth rate leading

to high unemployment rates and poverty in urban areas.

3. Minimal or no community participation in the planning process.

4. Inadequate awareness in planning legislation

5. Inadequate and expensive planning information.

6. Low capacity for plan implementation in the authorities that execute

the plans.


7. Inadequate financing of the planning process and facilitation of the

offices.

8. Inadequate planning equipment and outdated planning technology.

Due to rapid urbaniaation, most of the urban centres in Baringo have outgrown their

current designation. The county government shall reclassify all the urban centres

within the county during the preparation of the spatial plan.

4.5. Connectivity between the service centres

The important transport corridors affecting Baringo are the Nakuru-Marigat-Sudan

Road, Marigat-Kabarnet Road and the Eldama Ravine-Timboroa, all connecting to the

transnational highway (Eldoret-Nakuru Road). Samburu County also connects to the

Southern Corridor and Western Kenya through Baringo County.The towns and the

county as a whole is connected to other parts of the country, for example Elgeyo

Marakwet, Nakuru, Laikipia, Turkana, Nyahururu,Marakwet and the rest of Rift

Valley region although many of these roads are in urgent need of repair. The

connections to the north and east also need additional investment.

4.6. Physical development plans

Table 21 shows the different physical development plans that have been developed for

service centres in Baringo. It is of grave concern that many of these plans are either not

approved or out of date. The county government shall ensure that all these development plans

are approved and up to date.

4.7. Model physical development plan – a case of Marigat Town

The physical plan for Marigat is up to date and awaiting final approval. This section

highlights some of the elements in that plan as a model of what is expected of all the other

plans. The key land uses that are important in the planning process are identified. The

plan also specifies the development standards and strategies that need to be enforced for

the realiation of the objectives of the plan. A summary of this is presented below:

4.7.1. Residential land use (Zone 0)

The plan proposes three categories of residential areas. These are high-density residential

areas (HDR), medium density residential areas (MDR) and low-density residential areas

(LDR). The three categories have separate standards and strategies.

The following standard practices must be enforced in all the residential zones

- Frequent collection of solid waste

- Provision of waste receptacles for households

- Building plans to be prepared by relevant professional experts

- Issuance of compliance and completion certificates by county authority and the

physical planning department

- Regular maintenance of residential roads

- Proper laying of foundations floors

- All building foundations to be inspected by quantity surveyor and architect

- Piped water to be supplied based on the plan and in HDR to supplement using water

kiosks

- Regular inspection to ensure compliance during construction

4.7.2. Industrial- Zone 1

The plan identifies two types of industrial zones i.e. light industrial zone and heavy

industrial zone. The development standards and strategies for light industrial zones

(Zone11, 12) are as follows:

- Minimum plot size of 0.045 ha – 0.08ha

- Plot coverage of 60%

- There should be regular collection of solid waste

On the other hand, the development standards and strategies for heavy industrial zones

(Zone14) are as follows

- Minimum plot size of 0.2 – 0.4 ha

development control standards.

The county government shall track housing demand and publish the information for

investment purposes on an annual basis.


Chapter Five

ICT Framework

5. ICT Framework

This section introduces the ICT framework that will govern the use of ICT in the affairs of

the county government of Baringo.

5.1. Introduction

ICT can play a significant role in the development of the county. Baringo already boasts

of a number of globally-competitive ICT firms and an even larger number of local

startups. The county government will take steps to become paperless. It should also be

possible for any public officer to conduct their work from any county premise within the

county.

The County Government of Baringo will leverage ICT to increase public sector

productivity by enabling the delivery of county government services for the people,

communities and businesses while supporting open engagement to better informed

decisions and improving the operations of government. The county government will use

ICT to deliver better services and improve operations and processes aligned with the

national government policy.

In future, the machinery of county government of Baringo will depend on ICT, which

will transform government business and services to meet people‗s expectations for better

services, and to create a more open government. Research points to the important role

that ICT plays in driving productivity.


Figure 19: Role of ICT in the public sector of Baringo

The county government will deliver its vision and increase productivity by using ICT to

achieve three strategic priorities:

1. To deliver better services

2. To establish an open and transparent government

3. To improve government operations

Strategic actions are proposed to support the implementation of each strategic priority

5.2. Delivering better services

The people of Baringo expect high quality, easy-to-use government services.

Implementing this priority will deliver on this expectation. The County Government of

Baringo will develop the capacity and capability within government to better meet

people‗s needs and deliver improved services. The priority strategic action is to develop

capacity and capability across government to use ICT in order to achieve improved services,

effectiveness and efficiencies. All staff of the county government will be trained to use ICT. In

addition, all county premises will be connected into a county-wide area network to enable all staff

to do their work from anywhere within the county.

Chapter Six

Disaster Management Framework

6.1. Introduction

This chapter discusses the isaster preparedness of Baringo County and proposes a paln for

preparedness.The consultative process for this CIDP established that Baringo suffers from

regular disasters, including drought, floods, landslides, insecurity, famine and other slow

onset disasters such as HIV and AIDs and invasive species. It is necessary for Baringo to put

in place a robust disaster response framework, which is presented in this section.

Baringo County has witnessed repeated loss of socio-economic development gains to

disasters related to drought, floods, landslides, insecurity, invasive species and HIV/AIDS.

These have adversely impacted lives and livelihoods of communities in the county. In order

to create a prosperous and resilient county, there is need to create a framework for

implementation of DRR approaches that will secure development gains or at least enable the

communities to quickly rebound following disasters. This can only be done effectively with

the full participation of communities in participatory disaster risk analysis (PDRA) to foster

ownership and hence sustainability of development initiatives.

In order to achieve the above, the county government shall establish and strengthen structures

for disaster risk management (DRM) by creating institutions and frameworks for their

operations. Also, the county government shall support PDRA activities at the grassroots to

enable the community to identify development opportunities with DRR perspective.

The outputs from the PDRAs will be contingency plans for disaster preparedness and

response, as well as development plans for disaster prevention, mitigation, recovery and

resilience creation. Financing of the PDRA outputs shall be mainstreamed into CIDP. The

county government will also focus on strengthening county/community level systems

(Community organisation) and structures to ensure the functioning of critical facilities at all

times to save lives and livelihoods. Participatory monitoring, evaluation and learning will be

strengthened to improve knowledge management and to strengthen social audit of

development initiatives to consolidate community participation.

Specific action points

1. Establishment of disaster information management and early warning systems

The county government shall establish a disaster information centre and integrated

drought early warning systema at the county headquarters and satellite offices in Mogotio

and Chemolingot. This will host among other departments a geographical information


systems department, which will develop a geo-portal and geo-database. It will be tasked

with production of dynamic disaster risk maps and text messaging with selected identified

prevention, mitigation and preparedness interventions.

The information centre shall coordinate the gathering, documentation, analysis, storage

and dissemination of DRR information, including early warning of disaster via various

medium. The information centre shall ensure that early warning information is objective

and relevant to inform DRR planning. It shall be linked to the disaster response teams, the

community and other stakeholders for early action.

The information centre shall serve as a repository for baseline reports, contingency and

development plans, response plans, reports and documentations on success stories and

best practices. The aim will be to make it a nerve centre or DRR information.

2. Establishment of county disaster contingency fund

To support early action, the county government shall establish a county disaster

contingency and strengthen the institutional and financing framework for disaster

management. This will provide an emergency fund for rapid access to finances for

response planning, pre-/post-disaster assessments and meetings, as may be required, for

rapid response activities. The fund shall be tailored to be accessible regardless of the

annual fiscal cycle, for timely and effective response.

The output indicators for this action point will be the inclusion of the county emergency

fund in county integrated development plan. The fund willa have clear administrative

structure with objective access criteria linked to the disasterearly warning system.

The county government shall allow and promote flexibility for diversified stakeholder

resource mobilisation for the fund, both internally and externally, in order to rapidly grow

the kitty. The fund administration shall be structured to be headed by the County Disaster

Risk Management Committee (CDRMC) to consist of identified key stakeholders,

spearheaded by the County Government and the National Drought Management

Authority (NDMA).

3. Participatory disaster risk analysis

The county government shall place communities at the centre of all DRR planning by

supporting participatory disaster risk analysis (PDRA) at ward level. The PDRAs shall

establish baselines and map stakeholders, hazards, local and stakeholder resources

capacities, for intervention initiatives in the wards while identifying opportunities for

resilience building. This will be aimed at reduction of disaster vulnerability and enhanced

adaptation to climate change. There shall be effort to support development of ward-

specific plans incorporating DRR perspectives.

Specifically, the county government, together with partners, will fund community

mobilisation, capacity building, participatory planning, project implementation as well as

participatory monitoring and evaluation. The county government shall establish clear


policy on community entry and exit strategies, as well as reporting, to be adopted by all

stakeholders.

4. Community action planning (Contingency plans, development plans and monitoring

and evaluation framework)

The county government shall, together with other development partners, support

formation of community DRR organisations at Ward level. These will spearhead

community action planning for formulation of contingency and development plans that

are sensitive to commonly occurring ward-specific hazards. The county government shall

secure funds for these activities through internal and external resource mobilisation.

The specific activities to be funded under this will include DRR mainstreaming

workshops, capacity building forums for community DRR resource mobilisation, action

planning, project cycle management and participatory approaches. Other activities

include situation analysis, options assessment and priority setting. The county

government will also fund ward/sub-county/county workshops for stakeholder mapping

and analyses as well as for the development of monitoring and evaluation framework(s)

for DRR initiatives to foster accountability to stakeholders.

5. Partnership and coordination leadership on DRR activities

The county government shall support efforts by the County Disaster Risk Management

Committee (CDRMC) for the identification and mapping of stakeholders involved in

DRR, climate change adaptation (CCA) and social protection programmes. It will also

support coordinated data collection and analysis on food security and disaster

management. To support and promote collaboration and/or financing agreements and

frameworks, the county government shall support establishment of sector-based MOUs

among stakeholders while strengthening county level technical working groups.

The county government shall support timely production and dissemination of early

warning bulletins and publications as well as joint baseline surveys, joint monitoring, peer

review and learning sessions. The CDRMC shall be facilitated to develop an elaborate

implementation and M&E frameworks, communication and feedback mechanism, while

identifying cross-cutting lobby and/or advocacy themes on DRR around which to rally

stakeholders.


Chapter Seven

CountyIntegrated Development Plan,Linkages

with Other Plans.

7.1. Introduction

This chapter discusses at length the CIDP linkages with the Kenya Vision 2030 and

the Constitution of Kenya. A brief status of Millennium Development Goals at the

County level is also provided.

7.2. Integrated development planning

Integrated development planning is defined as a process through which efforts at

national and devolved levels of government and other relevant public institutions are

coordinated at local level, and through which economic, social, environmental, legal

and spatial aspects of development are brought together to produce a plan that meets

the need and targets set for the benefit of local communities.

7.3. Legislation on integrated planning in Kenya

7.3.1. The County Government Act 2012

The County Government Act 2012, in fulfilment of constitutional requirement to

legislate preparation of county plans, details the goals and procedures of County

Planning (Part XI of the Act). County planners are required to prepare 5-year

integrated county development plans and the annual county budgets to implement

them.

Under Article 100(h) of the Act, county planning is expected to provide a platform for

unifying planning, budgeting, financing programmes, implementation and

performance review. A county planning unit shall be responsible for coordinated

integrated development planning. County plans will have the goal of promoting

harmony with national and other county plans, land-use plans, urban planning and

environmental conservation.


The County Government Act, 2012, section 104 (1), states that a county government

shall plan for the county and no public funds shall be appropriated without a planning

framework developed by the county executive committee and approved by the county

assembly. It also states that the county planning framework (as in the definition

above) shall integrate economic, physical, social, environmental and spatial planning.

In addition to an integrated county development plan, each county is expected to have

the following:

a) A county sectoral plan

b) A county spatial plan

c) A city and urban areas plan

These county plans (section 107(2)) ―shall be the basis for all the budgeting and

planning in a county.

7.3.2. Transition to Devolved Government Act, 2012

Under the Transition to Devolved Government Act (2012), the transition authority is

expected ―to provide mechanisms for capacity building requirements of the new

county authorities to prepare the appropriate plans and budgets.

7.3.3. Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), 2012

The Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), 2012, emphasises what the County

Government Act states but puts a slightly different emphasis on planning. Whereas

the County Government Act requires a five-year County Integrated Development

Plan, the PFMA (Part IV (126) (1)) requires both a long-term and medium term plan.

According to the PFMA, a budget process for the county government in any financial

year shall consist of the following stages:

a) Start with an integrated development planning process, which shall contain both

shor-term and medium-term plans.

b) Every county shall prepare a development plan as per Article 220 (2) of the

constitution.

c) Budgets are to be based on projects and other expenditure contained in the plan.

7.3.4. Urban Areas and Cities Act, 2011

Urban Areas and Cities Act (2011) is also emphatic on the need for a 5-year

integrated development planning and the need to align annual budgeting to the plan.

These plans are separate from those of the county. In section 36(2), it states that an

integrated urban or city development plan shall bind, guide, and inform all planning

for development and decision-making and ensure comprehensive inclusion of

functions.


7.4. CIDP Linkages with Kenya Vision 2030 and Medium Term Plan

Sessional Paper Number 10 of 2012 on Kenya Vision 2030 is the National Policy Economic

Blueprint that entrenches Kenya Vision 2030 as the long term development strategy for

Kenya. The Kenya Vision 2030 aims at transforming Kenya into a modern, globally

competitive, middle incomecountry providing a high quality of life to all its citizens. Kenya

Vision 2030 is a product of highly participatory, consultative and inclusive stakeholder‗s

process conducted throughout the country and in all sectors of the economy.

The Vision is anchored on three key pillars: Economic, social and political.

The economic pillar aims at achieving an average Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth

rate of 10 per cent per annum and sustain the same till 2030 in order to generate more

resources to reinvigorate the economy to meet its envisaged goals and aspirations. The key

sectors in this pillar include: Tourism, agriculture and livestock, manufacturing, wholesale

and retail trade, Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) and financial services. A seventh

sector, oil and mineral resources, has now been added, taking cognisance of the recent

developments.

The social pillar seeks to build a just and cohesive society with social equity in a clean and

secure environment. The main sectors under this pillar include education and training, health,

water and irrigation, environment, housing and urbanisation, gender, sports, youth and

culture. The political pillar aims at realising a democratic political system founded on issue-

based politics that respect the rule of law and protects the fundamental rights and freedoms of

every individual in Kenya.

The three pillars are anchored on a number of foundations, which serve as enablers that create

an environment that is geared towards the realisation of Vision 2030. These include:

Macroeconomic stability; continuity in governance reforms; enhanced equity and wealth

creation opportunities for the poor; infrastructure; energy; science, technology and

innovation; land reforms; human resource development; security and public sector reforms.

An additional enabler - national values and ethics - has been included following the passing

of the Constitution of Kenya 2010.

The Kenya Vision 2030 is phased to be implemented in successive five-year medium-term

plans. The first plan covered the period 2008-2012. The Medium Term Plan (MTP 2013-17)

is the second in a series of successive five-year plans under which the Kenya Vision 2030 is

to be implemented. The second MTP 2013-2017 draws on lessons learnt in implementing the

first MTP. It seeks to implement the flagship projects identified under Vision 2030 over the

five-year period together with incomplete flagship and other projects and programmes in the

previous MTP. It will also take due cognisance of the devolved structure of government

following promulgation of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 and recent discovery of oil and

mineral resources.

The broad key priority areas,which will be the focus of the second MTP include:

Employment creation; development of human resource through expansion and improvement


in quality education, health and other social services; reducing the dependence of the

economy on rain fed agriculture through expansion of irrigation; higher investment in

alternative and green sources of energy; improving the economy‗s competitiveness through

increased investment and modernization of infrastructure; increasing the ratio of saving,

investment and exports to GDP; implementation of key Kenya Vision 2030 Flagship projects,

including development of LAPSSET Corridor; improving national security; promoting

national values and ethics; and continue implementing the constitution.

County Government Act, 2012, stipulates that county government shall plan for the county

and no public funds shall be appropriated outside a planning framework developed by the

county executive committee and approved by the county assembly. This Act, along with the

Public Financial Management Act, 2012, therefore calls for preparation of a County

Integrated Development Plans (CIDPs), which must be aligned to the national development

plan. In view of this, CIDPs and other plans provided in the County Government Act will be

aligned to Kenya Vision 2030 and the MTP 2013-2017. As such, CIDPs will provide the

essential linkages of the national and county governments by facilitating the implementation

of Vision 2030 flagship projects as well as other projects and programmes that will ensure

implementation of Kenya Vision 2030 at both levels of government.

County governments must, therefore, embrace the Kenya Vision 2030 and MTPs during

preparation of county development plans. In particular, they are envisaged to support

implementation of Vision 2030 flagship projects that may be domiciled in or cut across the

counties. In addition, counties will need to identify specific projects and programmes for

implementation over the medium term period towards achievement of the Kenya Vision 2030

and MDGs.

The county development profiles form the basis for county planning and development

process by providing the requisite benchmarks and information required for preparation of

the CIDPs.

7.5. CIDP Linkages with the Kenya Constitution, 2010

The Constitution of Kenya (2010) prescribes national values and principles of governance

which include sharing and devolution of power. It creates a two-tier government: a national

government and 47 county governments. The Fourth Schedule delineates the functions of the

national and county governments. A total of 14 functions have been devolved to the counties.

The main ones include: county planning and development; agriculture; county health

services; control of air pollution, noise pollution, other public nuisances and outdoor

advertising; cultural activities, public entertainment and public amenities; county roads and

transport; animal control and welfare; trade development and regulation; pre-primary

education and village polytechnics; specific national government policies on natural

resources and environmental conservation; county public works and services; fire fighting

services and disaster management; and, control of drugs and pornography. Emphasis is also

made for the counties to ensure participatory development and capacities are developed at the

county and community level.


Five laws which provide the framework for devolution have been enacted, namely: Urban

Areas and Cities Act, 2011; The County Governments Act, 2012; The Transition to Devolved

Government Act, 2012; The Intergovernmental Relations Act, 2012 and The Public Finance

Management Act, 2012.

The PFM Act 2012 provides for effective and efficient management of public resources.

Article 125 of the Act requires the budget process for county governments in any financial

year to consist of integrated development planning process which include long term and

medium term planning as well as financial and economic priorities for the county over the

medium term. Articles 126 of the Act further obligates each county government to prepare an

integrated development plan that includes strategic priorities for the medium term that reflect

the county government's priorities and plans, a description of how the county government is

responding to changes in the financial and economic environment; and, programmes to be

delivered.

The county governments are composed of the county executive committee and county

assemblies. The county executive committee is expected to supervise the administration and

delivery of services to citizens as well as conceptualise and implement policies and county

legislation. The county assembly is a legislative organ and will play an oversight role on all

county public institutions including the urban areas and cities. The county governments are

required to prepare the CIDPs to enable prioritisation of socio-economic development issues

at the local level. This is mandatory before the funding of county projects and programmes.

The CIDP, therefore, seeks meet this requirement and ensure that there is a comprehensive

planning tool upon which planning at the county can be done as per the requirement of the

constitution of Kenya 2010 and other legislations thereafter.

7.6. Implementation of Millennium Development Goals at the county

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are internationally accepted standards for

measuring progress towards poverty alleviation. They were agreed upon at the UN

Millennium Summit in 2000 where world leaders made and adopted a declaration to ―free

all men, women and children from the abject and dehumanising conditions of extreme

poverty’. The eight MDGs to be met by 2015 are drawn from this declaration. The eight

MDGs have time-bound targets and indicators for measuring progress in the areas of: poverty

alleviation, education, gender equality and empowerment of women, child and maternal

health, reducing HIV/AIDS and communicable diseases, environmental sustainability, and

building a Global Partnership for Development. Kenya is one of the signatories to the

declaration and is committed to achieving the MDGs. This commitment has resulted in

commendable progress in achieving a number of these goals though some are still facing

challenges. As we pursue development agenda at the county level, we need to fast track the

achievement of these goals. With only two years to the end of the MDGs period, a group of

world leaders appointed by the UN secretary general are working together to find the best

way to tackle global agenda on development after 2015. The post 2015 agenda will have


shared responsibilities for all countries and with the fight against poverty and sustainable

development at its core. This agenda will be cascaded in the MTP and CIDPs in order to

build upon commitments already made and contribute to the acceleration of achievement of

the targets both at the national and county levels.

Some of the challenges facing the achievement of MDGs in Baringo County are: Inadequate

resources for financing MDGs related activities; Declining agricultural production due to

unpredictable rain patterns and land fragmentation; high population growth rate; over reliance

on agriculture and export of unprocessed agricultural products; and Illegal and extensive

logging without replacing the felled/cleared trees/forests.


Chapter Eight

Resource Mobilisation Framework

8.1. Introduction

This resource mobilisation strategy is developed cognizant of the tremendous

development challenges faced by Baringo County; with the realisation that Baringo

County Government will take the lead in raising revenues for development. This

chapter contains a budget projection required for managing the county government. It

also indicates the resources that are available for capital projects development. It

outlines strategies for raising revenue and their projected for the plan period. In

addition, strategies for asset management, financial management, and capital

financing are included. This includes, but not limited to, strategies to expand the

revenue generation, resource sharing with the central government, means of attracting

external funding. This strategy, therefore, provides the basis for mobilising funds

required to support the county government mandate.

8.2. Trends

Funding for county government is anchored in the Kenya Constitution, which

provides that the not less than 15 per cent of audited accounts in government shall be

disbursed to the County Government. In 2012-2013 financial years, the County

Government of Baringo received Sh3.4 Billion. It is anticipated that this shall increase

annually as the national budget increases and as the Baringo County economy grows.

8.3. Constraints to resource mobilisation:

Although it is anticipated that resource mobilisation will yield more than just money,

past experience shows that a great deal of funds are not channelled to proper priorities

nor applied nor applied to contributing to holistic growth in development. The County

Government of Baringo will put structures in place and enact legislation to ensure

effective application of funds.Specifically, the county will endeavour to get value for

money and will properly harmonise use of funds to reduce transaction costs.

This involves enlisting of all necessary resources, be they human, material or services,

to achieve specific goals. It involves the mobilisation of knowledge for human use of

skills, equipment and services.


The first step will be resource mapping, which includes:

1. Assessment of the baseline position of the resources

2. Identifying required resources for the project

3. Comparing what is needed and what is available to determine the gaps

4. Identifying potential sources of needed resources and

5. Outlining best strategies for approaching stakeholders (donors and partners)

6. Outlining monitoring and review mechanisms.

7. Documentation of all activities

8.4. Capital projects funding

Capital projects as contained in this plan will be funded through budgetary allocation

from the central government, through the resources raised from the local sources and

through grants and loans from development partners. There will also private sector-

public sector collaboration.

8.5. Strategies for raising revenue

The Kenya Government is increasingly constrained in mobilising the required

financial and technical resources to cope with the rising demand for development

projects and provision of services. Rapid economic growth, growing urban

population, increasing rural–urban migration, and all-round social and economic

development have compounded the pressure on the existing infrastructure, and

increased the demand-supply gap. Further, donor commitments, though appealing,

have been unable to bridge the financial requirements gap.

National governments in developing as well as developed countries have been using

Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) arrangements for improved delivery of services.

Governments have built or are building transport (roads, railways, toll bridges),

education (schools and universities), healthcare (hospitals and clinics), waste

management (collection, waste-to-energy plants), and water (collection, treatment,

and distribution) infrastructure through PPPs. PPPs are, therefore, becoming the

preferred method for public procurement of infrastructural services throughout the

world.

In Kenya, there has been considerable progress in the last 5 years in attracting private

investment into the country. There is however, potential for PPPs to contribute more

and help bridge the gap. To this end, the Kenyan Government has developed a PPPs

framework which will be modified by the government of Baringo to address local

concerns.

Baringo County will strive to use the developed framework, host forums and

conferences to woo investors. The county will further be compelled to explore new

and innovative financing methods in which private sector investment can be attracted


through a mutually agreed arrangement. Since neither the public sector nor the private

sector can meet the financial requirements in isolation, the PPPs model presents a

logical, viable and necessary option for them to work together. It is hoped that PPPs

will deliver efficiency gains and enhanced impact of the investments. The efficient

use of resources, availability of modern technology, better project design and

implementation, and improved operations combine to deliver efficiency and

effectiveness gains, which are not readily produced in a public sector project. Further,

the long gestation period of infrastructure projects requires sustainable financial and

operational capacity. Therefore, there is increasing reluctance in both the public and

private sectors to absorb all the costs and assume all the risks of building and

operating these assets alone.

The county also expects to gain from resources mobilized by the national treasury.

According to Article 226 of the Constitution, it is the duty of the national treasury to

mobilize domestic and external resources for financing national and county

government. Loans will another source of funding. The county treasury is in charge of

mobilising resources for funding the budgetary requirements of the county

government and putting in place mechanisms to raise revenue and resources.

The county also expects to receive grants from development partners for various

projects. It should be noted that under the PFM Act 2012, regulations approved by

parliament shall provide for the administration, control and management of grants,

including procedures to ensure that grants are spent on the basis of the ICDP.

8.6. Establishment of Baringo investment vehicle (Baringo Investment Corporation)

This will be established to make Baringo a county of choice for investments. It will be

organized along the lines of the Kenya Investment Authority created by the

Investment Promotion Act No. 6 of 2004. It will also formatted along the lines of

Industrial and Commercial Development Company (ICDC).

Its principal mission will be to attract, facilitate, retain and expand county, intra-

county, national and international investments to Baringo. Because of the many

requests for factories and other commercially viable investments, it is proposed that

this investment vehicle shall operate a capital fund that can take debt and equity

positions in strategic projects. This fund shall be run strictly along standard venture

capital practices, including a maximum exposure, project feasibility and stringent exit

requirements.

8.6.1. Mandate

Its main mandate will be promoting investments in Baringo. It will be responsible for

facilitating the implementation of new investment projects, providing after care

services for new and existing investments, as well as organising investment promotion

activities within the county, nationally and internationally.


The core functions of Baringo Investment Corporation will include: Investment fund

management, investment promotion; investment facilitation, which includes investor

tracking and after care services. The activities are carried out through the following

strategies:

Establishment of holding companies to invest on behalf of the county

Generate income for Baringo County.

Research, policy advocacy and planning: Undertake research, review and analyse

policies, and engage in policy advocacy geared towards improving the business

environment.

Investment promotion and marketing: Targeting and attracting investments to

achieve increased economic development.

Investor services: Ensuring expeditious and quality facilitation of projects for prompt

implementation and effective after care services.

Corporate governance and ethics: Uphold good corporate profile for Baringo

County and ensure observance of good corporate governance and attend to legal

affairs related to the investors.

Internal Audit: Monitor and evaluate management policies, procedures, regulations

and systems to ensure compliance with the best practices for effective utilisation of

organisational resources.

8.7. Assets and financial management

The national treasury is expected to design and prescribe an efficient financial

management system for the national and county governments to ensure transparent

financial management and standard financial reporting as contemplated by Article 226

of the Constitution. The county treasury, subject to the Constitution, will monitor,

evaluate and oversee the management of public finances and economic affairs of the

county government, including developing and implementing financial and economic

policies in the county; preparing the annual budget for the county and coordinating

the preparation of estimates of revenue and expenditure of the county government;

coordinating the implementation of the budget of the county government; mobilizing

resources for funding the budgetary requirements of the county government and

putting in place mechanisms to raise revenue and resources.

The County Treasury will also ensure compliance with accounting standards

prescribed and published by the Accounting Standards Board from time to time. It

will also ensure proper management and control of, and accounting for the finances of

the county government and its entities in order to promote efficient and effective use

of the county's budgetary resources.


8.8. Resources from the National Government

To support the devolution framework, several acts of parliament have been enacted:

The Urban and Cities Act 2011; The County Government Act, 2012; The transition to

Devolved Government Act 2012; The Inter-government Relations Act, 2012; The

Public finance management Act, 2012; The County Government Public Finance

Transition Act, 2013. The Constitution and many of these laws require ―integrated

development planning‖ as the process of enhancing efficiency and effectiveness of

budget fund and mechanism for addressing the county mandate under the

Construction of Kenya, 2010.

Release of funds from the national government will depend on whether a county has

developed an Integrated Development Plan. Part XI of the County Government Act

2012 obligates the county government to ensure harmony of the integrated

development plan with the national plans, and other sub-county plans such as sectoral

plans, spatial plans and urban and city plans which are located in the county. In

accordance with article 106, the plan will thereby provide mechanisms for linking the

county and national planning processes with the MTEF budgetary system.

The budget process for county governments consists of an integrated development

planning process, which include both long term and medium term planning. The

integrated plan establishes financial and economic priorities for the county over the

medium term and makes an overall estimation of the county government's revenues

and expenditures. Based on the Commission on Revenue Allocation, Baringo County

is expected to receive Sh3.4 B for the financial year 2013/14. This allocation has been

determined based on the county population (45%), poverty index (20%), land area

(8%) basic equal share (25%) and fiscal responsibility (2%). Although prorated,

prudent public resource management as stipulated in the PFM Act 2012 will

determine the amount the county receives in future on fiscal responsibility.

8.9. Strategies for Mobilising Baringo County human capital

The Baringo County Government will mobilise and establish a databank of

Professionals from Baringo who reside within the County itself, nationally and

internationally to engage them in the development of Baringo County. It will

specifically engage the people of Baringo in diaspora in investments and

developments in Baringo.

Other national and international friends and well-wishers of Baringo will also be

engaged.

The governor‘s office will delegate the county executive in charge of human resource

to coordinate this function.


8.10. Other strategies for Mobilising county resources

This will include:

a) Proceeds from royalties for minerals including petroleum, steam and water.

b) Proceeds from investments by the counties Corporations in energy, factories,

hotels and buildings.

c) Selling commercial paper with the concordance of the national government.

d) Developing housing bonds.

e) Setting up county lotteries to fund such programs as; sports, education, loans

and roads.

f) Engaging the national government to offer tax incentives to potential

investors.

g) Using the Built, Operate, and Transfer Model (BOT) to put up social and

commercial infrastructure.

h) Conscessioning of roads and other infrastructure.

i) Mobilizing land rates and other property taxes under the county government.

j) Preparing and implementing policy to govern development of public land

allocated to investors with a view to optimal collection of revenue.

k) Entry fees from game reserves.

l) Proceeds from cess on agricultural produce.


Chapter Nine

Investment Framework

Introduction

This chapter on investment framework seeks to provide a mechanism for the government

to allocate its resources among the various projects proposed to questions such as how

the identified projects will be selected and how they will be financed.

9.1. Allocation of resources among sectors

The executive shall determine the allocation of resource among the various counties in

the county. The following is suggested as a guideline:

Table 44: Consideration for resource allocation among sectors

Sector Target Rationale

Agriculture and Rural

Development

10% of budget and 6%

Annual growth in agriculture

Maputo Declaration, July 2003

Health 15% of budget to health Abuja Declaration

Energy, Infrastructure and

ICT

for every 1% growth in the

economy there must be a 2%

growth in energy supply

Rule of thumb

9.2. Project selection framework

1. Feasibility assessments will be conducted before any projects are implemented to

ensure that projects are viable.

2. The county government shall provide guidelines for the evaluation of all projects

to determine their feasibility and cost effectiveness before they are implemented.

3. The county government shall identify the criteria against which every project will

be scored and a weight against which each of these factors shall be applied. An

initial set of factors and corresponding weights is defined below:

4. All projects shall be scored against these factors and then ranked based on their

scores.


Table 45: Weights to be assigned to different factors when selecting projects

Factor Weight

(points)

Rationale

Prioritisation from

community

-5 to 15 Ensures that community interests are well taken care of. A project with

a negative rating means there are members in the community who do

not want the project.

Prioritisation by

experts /heads of

department

10 Allows government officials to provide their professional inputs

onwhich projects are implemented.

Prioritisation on

strategic basis

20 Allows the county leadership to provide their scoring against each

project to give priority to projects that have strategic value to the

county.

Impact on people 20 Allows ranking of projects based on their impact on security, job

creation, health, education, equity and disaster preparedness.

Impact on

environment

-5 to 5 Allows the promotion of projects that have a positive contribution to

the environment

Impact on the local

economy

10 Allows for the promotion of projects that have a significant impact on

job creation, wealth creation and opening up investment opportunities.

Total 100

9.3. Public investments

1. Public spending will include administrative, social and infrastructural expenditure

2. The constitution requires county governments to further the cause of devolution

beyond the county level. To attain this, the county government shall set aside at least

15 per cent of its development budget for a Ward Development Kitty, which shall be

used for the financing of projects at the ward level. This fund shall operate along the

same lines as the constituency development fund but shall be administered by the

county executive with the participation of the community.

3. The county government shall ensure that the ward development fund is distributed

equitably among the wards, having regard to a need for equalization among the wards.

The county government shall also set aside 0.5 per cent of its budget for an

equalization kitty, which shall be used to address development in marginalised areas.

4. The county government shall ensure there is prudent use of resources deployed to the

ward development fund.

5. The county government shall identify flagship projects at the county and sub-county

levels. Flagship projects shall not include routine programmes and services, but shall

be transformative projects with significant impacts among multiple stakeholders.


6. Flagship projects at the sub-county level shall be implemented using the resources of

the constituency development fund with additional support (if requested) from the

county government.

Figure 20 : Development through use of public funds

9.4. Private investments

private sector as well as projects suitable for PPP investment

3. The county government shall facilitate the mobilisation of resources through

cooperative societies and investment clubs.

9.5. Public-Private Partnerships

programmes.

6. The county government shall maintain cordial relations with other non-state actors

e.g. NGOs, the media and professional bodies and actively pursue beneficial

partnerships with them.

9.7. Role of public procurement in the economic development

The government being the biggest spender has the opportunity to stimulate development,

especially in the manufacturing sector through public procurement. This provides a means

for the capitalisation of local enterprises, development of local capacity and creation of

jobs.

The county government shall set up and operationalise a policy to guide the use of public

procurement to promote economic and social development along the following lines:

1. The county government shall reserve at least 30 per cent of all public procurement

cent of the wood, metal and concrete products shall be fabricated locally unless

local capacity is reliably established to be absent, or exemption has been granted

by the county assembly. Additional services e.g. clerical work, transport, unskilled

labour and security shall also be procured locally.

5. The county government shall not procure more than 50 per cent of its hospitality

services from outside the county.

11.3. Agriculture and Rural Development

The Agricultural and Rural Development (ARD) Sector comprises of the following eight sub-

sectors: Agriculture; Livestock Development; Cooperative Development and Marketing;

Lands; Fisheries Development; Forestry and Wildlife; National Land Commission and

Agricultural Research & Development (ARD).

Vision:

A food secure, competitive and productive Baringo County.

Mission:

To improve livelihoods through promotion of competitive agriculture, innovative

research, growth of a viable cooperatives sub sector, and sustainable management of

land,forestry and wildlife resources.

County Response to Sector Vision and Mission

This is major sector in the county since 80 per cent of the population depends on agriculture

for their livelihood. Agricultural production however has been varying over the years

depending on the amount of rainfall received per year. The county will strive to increase crop

and livestock production so as to attain food security and provide marketing of farm and

livestock produce. In addition promotion of drought resistant crops and small scale irrigation

will be adopted.The cooperative development and marketing sub sector will also be

improved. Construction of honey refinery will be a priority in order to add value to the

locally produced honey. Farmers will be encouraged to form marketing societies for their

farm produce and livestock so as to reduce exploitation from middle men.

11.3.5. Strategies to Mainstream Cross-cutting Issues

Gender issues will be addressed in all the sub-sectors by ensuring that the gender

balance is observed and both men and women are given equal opportunity. There will

be emphasis to achieve the 30 per cent women representation in all trainings and

activities, including the committees charged with different responsibilities under the

devolved funds as well as appointive positions.

The HIV and AIDS affect all the sub sectors negatively especially the agriculture

where the productive age is mostly affected and efforts will be made to mainstream

HIV and AIDS in the sector activities. The projects proposed in this CDP have also

taken into account the environment and climate issues. They will also be implemented

in a sustainable manner with appropriate environmental impact assessment being done

to minimize any negative impact.

ICT will play an important role in this sector in provision of agricultural information

to farmers. The use of technologies such as M-SHAMBA, a mobile-phone enabled

technology which will help farmers to link up with crop researchers, meteorological

departments and veterinary scientists to improve their farms yields will be explored

and be fully exploited in the county.

11.4. Education Sector

The Education Sector comprises of Ministry of Education (MOE); Ministry of Higher

Education, Science and Technology (MoHEST); the Teachers Service Commission (TSC)

and their affiliated Institutions.

Vision

A globally competitive education training, research and innovation for sustainable

development.

Mission

To provide, promote and coordinate quality education and training, integration of

science, technology and innovation in sustainable socio-economic development

process.


To achieve the sector vision and mission, education and training will focus on

community involvement and participation in education programmes. Promotion of

Girl Child Education (GCE) and Early Childhood Development (ECD) programmes

will be a priority in the county. Improvement of education facilities through increase

in bursary and community contribution, promotion of a sustainable school feeding

programme will also be a priority in the county. Mobile schools and boarding schools

for pastoral communities will also be a priority. There will also be rehabilitation and

equipping of youth polytechnics as centers of specialization. The county will also

prioritize equipping of secondary schools with IT and Laboratory facilities.

utilization of resources in a sustainable manner with special emphasis put on

conservation of forests, development of agro based industries, like milk and meat

processing, to increase employment and income generating activities, advocating for

efficient rural finance and credit supply system for small scale farmers and

improvement of the governance. Security will be increased for trading, industrial

development and tourism to take place. At the same time, efforts will be focused on

maintenance, improvement and expansion of the infrastructure that is essential for the

sector to thrive. All these efforts will contribute greatly to the uplifting of the socio-

economic status of the county‘s inhabitants. Increased power supply will also lead to

endeavour to mitigate the OVC from the impact of HIV/AIDS menace. The state has duty to

provide access to protection and basic services, including legal aid and alternative care

mechanisms to children within a human rights framework.

The sector will work closely with other stakeholders on efforts to improve on the quality of

life through mainstreaming HIV and AIDS issues in their operations, engaging in behavior

change communication, protection of rights and access to justice for infected people and

others. The government has established HIV and AIDS control units in all ministries and

departments. However effective function of these units requires full support and facilitation

in terms of equipping them with necessary physical and human resources and efficient

coordination. The strategies of the sector will help to achieve the targets of MDG goal 6

which aims to combat HIV and AIDS, malaria and other diseases.

11.11. Finance and Economic Planning

Sector Vision and mission

Vision

A leading sector in legislation, public policy formulation, coordination, supervision and

prudent resource management.

Mission

Provide overall leadership and policy direction in resource mobilisation, management and

accountability for quality public service delivery.

Situation Analysis

The presence of sub-county treasury and planning units sets ground for utilization of County

Government resources. Operational financial institutions and devolved funds e.g. Youth and

Women Funds, CDF are critical in realizing funding mechanisms. Existing planning and

financial legislations e.g County Government Act 2012 and County Govt Public Finance

Management Transition Act 2013 will guide the impelementation of the Plan.

Inadequate public participation in planning and implementation require strengthening. Weak

linkage between development planning and budgetary allocatioon will also be addressed.

Establishment of economic and budget forum, harnessing public private partnership,public

participation will go along way in realizing the county vision

Chapter Twelve

Monitoring and Evaluation Framework 12.1.Introduction

This chapter presents the monitoring and evaluation framework that will be used at the

National and County level to track progress on implementation of projects and programmes.

An indicative matrix detailing projects and programmes then costing implementing agencies

as well as monitoring tools and indicators which could be selected for the County, based on

projects and programmes identified in chapter three, is given as Appendix II.

12.2. Institutional Framework for Monitoring and Evaluation

At the National level, Monitoring and Evaluation is conducted through National Integrated

Monitoring and Evaluation System (NIMES), whose main aim is to improve the effectiveness

and quality of tracking of implementation of various development policies, strategies and

programmes. The county and lower level monitoring and evaluation of projects and

programmes are part of this system.

Baringo County will put in place a County Monitoring and Evaluation system to serve the

needs of the County Government, while complementing the National M&E system. The

system will take cognizance of the projects and programmes included in the County

Integrated Development Plans as well as indicators facilitating the MTEF process, and

development aspects of the respective county.

An indicative M&E impact /performance indicators is presented in below.
